Police disperse NDC protesters at EC headquarters

Police disperse NDC protesters at EC headquarters

The Accra Regional Police Command has moved in to disperse a group believed to be supporters of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) who massed up at the headquarters of the Electoral Commission this morning.

The supporters were there to demonstrate against what they call the EC’s declaration of President Nana Akufo-Addo as the winner of the December polls. They say the election is flawed.

The chaotic situation has led to the blocking of the Kanda Highway and other sections of the Ridge enclave and the firing of tear gas.

Director of Operations at the Accra Regional Command ACP Kwesi Ofori has been speaking to the media on the latest development.

“The police is moving practically and strategically to make sure that we keep the peace, and it’s been good so far. Initially, we used engagement, which failed so we had to resort to the use of non-electrical equipment like water to get them to move down the street.”
