The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Women’s Wing have embarked on a massive protest against the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana in the capital of the Ashanti Region against declaring Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo as the president-elect.

According to them, they voted for change yet the electoral body has connived with the incumbent government to upset the results in their favour to subvert the will of the Ghanaian people.

The demonstration started from the Party Head Office at Amakom on Tuesday morning through the streets of Kumasi and ended at the Ashanti Regional Electoral Commission Office at the Regional Coordinating Council. Angry party women were clad in Red and Black held placards with inscriptions, ‘Stolen Verdict, ‘Justice before peace’, ‘the media has lost its credibility’, ‘electoral fraud’, 'for Ghana we will not rest,” and many others.

The National Women’s Organizer of the NDC, Dr Hannah Bissiw in a press briefing told that the Electoral Commission has failed to live up to their mandate by  ‘cooking figures’ in favour of Nana Akufo-Addo which has won him a second term to serve as president of Ghana.

She questioned the transparency of the just-ended election and challenged the Electoral Commissioner, Madam Jean Mensa to make the right declaration for the peace in Ghana to prevail.

“We are here this afternoon with one voice to protest against the stealing and robbing created by the EC to twist the arms of Ghanaians to rig elections in favour of the incumbent president,” she said.

“Jean Mensa declared Nana Addo as the president-elect only to come a day after and say she declared the wrong figures.

“Where did she sit to cook the new figures. We are demanding the real representation of what we voted for to be declared. We are demanding the president to stop killing us and calling on Jean Mensa and her associates to declare the right results so that peace can prevail in this country.

“Ghana is freedom and justice and what is been done isn’t one. Our freedom is being taken away from us. In a society when there is so much injustice, silence becomes a crime.

“We are telling president Nana Addo that you and your Electoral Commission should declare the right numbers,” she ended.

Supporters of the party called for a change whiles speaking to Soiree News and sworn to do anything possible for the change to be effected, even if it means laying down their lives.
