The women’s wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kumasi is protesting against the outcome of the 2020 elections.
According to them, the general election was rigged in favor of the New Patriotic Party (PNP), so they will risk everything to see their standard bearer, declared John Mahama as president-elect.
Speaking to the media, women’s organizer Dr. Hanna Bissiw said; “If she (Jean Mensa) had done the right thing, she would not have declared President Nana Addo as President-elect.
“Our protest is to demand that the right thing be done in the elections just ended.”
“After all, she came to make the statement and came back to say she made mistakes, so where did she come up with the new numbers, additions and subtractions,” he said.
Visibly angry women who took to the streets of Kumasi in the Ashanti region said on Tuesday that no intimidation by the security services will make them overturn their decision.
“He (President Akufo-Addo) can unleash his army against us, he can unleash his police against us.”
“When you said that everyone dies, dies, were you arrested? So now we quote him, just like he said, everyone dies, ”he added.
The women alleged that Akufo-Addo is using the army against them and called on religious and international organizations to intervene.
Dr. Bissiw said: “We are saying that the president should stop intimidating the people of Ghana, why is he using the army against us instead of the army defending the citizen against outside forces.”
The women, dressed in red and black, marched from the party office in Amakom with posters through some main streets and headed towards the regional office of the Electoral Commission (EC).
However, he pointed out that women, children and the vulnerable will be the ones who will suffer in the event of a conflict in the country, but he maintained that his protest is to avoid this type of event.
Regarding why the NDC has resorted to protests instead of going to court, the women’s organizer indicated that the party is using various means.
“As women, we are hitting in the streets, those who have to deal with paper and the law are doing it,” she said.
