LMVCA Picketing: Police Must Not Spare Irresponsible Protesters - Ametor Quarmyne

NDC’s Eric Ametor Quarmyne has called on the police to deal with people who might behave naughtily during a scheduled demonstration which is in support of a new voters register.

The Communications consultant wants the police to deal brutally with such protesters; recalling that a similar demonstration dubbed “won gbo” was poorly organised with unfortunate happenings.

“The last time these groups joined the ‘won gbo’ demo we saw people clearly disregarding the police directives, where they took different direction contrary to what was agreed. Had it not been the patience of the police, a nasty situation would have happened there. We can’t continue to have such gross indiscipline happening always” he said on Kasapa FM

Ametor Quarmyne's comments come after the court cleared the Let My Vote Count Alliance (LMVCA) to embark on a demonstration which was earlier questioned by the police.

 Let My Vote Count Alliance (LMVCA), Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) and Movement for Change (MFC) had intended to demonstrate at the premises of the Electoral Commission to call for a new voters register.

But the court had ordered that the organizers converge at Accra Hearts of Oak Park, and present their petition after having marched from Obra Spot to Hearts of Oak Park.

Therefore the proposed routes for the demonstration which is taking place today is from Obra Spot, through GCB Tower on the Kwame Nkrumah Avenue, to Farisco Traffic Light, TUC, EOCO to Atta Mills High street and finally to Hearts of Oak Park.
