The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called of a planned demonstration against the removal of Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Charlotte Osei and her two deputies, Amadu Sulley and Georgina Opoku Amankwaa.
The demonstration which was scheduled to take place Friday morning at the Obra Spot, Circle, was called off due to the death of former Vice-President Paa Kwesi Amissah Arthur.
The police had earlier warned the party to desist from embarking on the protest since they [police] had not being notified of it; thus defying the Public Order Act.
When Graphic Online visited the venue, there were, however, a few supporters numbering about 15 clad in red, holding placards and chanting songs to express their displeasure at the move of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to remove the three officials from office.
A member of the NDC Communications Team, Elikem Kotoko, in an interview said “It is with a heavy heart that I announce that we’re calling it off. Reason being that we heard of the sad news of the passing of our former vice-president and as a result we’ve decided to rather converge at his residence.”
Background
President Akufo-Addo on Thursday dismissed Mrs Charlotte Osei and her two deputies, Amadu Sulley and Georgina Opoku Amankwaa.
Their removal was based on recommendations from the committee that investigated corruption and misconduct allegations against them.
Some concerned workers of the Electoral Commission in July 2017 petitioned the President and the Chief Justice to begin impeachment processes against Mrs Osei.
They accused Mrs Osei of taking unilateral decisions without recourse to the appropriate departments of the EC, even her deputies.

I am reminded of the US Army base demo where a woman responded that the US army people will come and preg out ghana ladies left-right-center. It was a shame for NDC then. Now this is even more shameful. A bunch of youth hows future they tender to the so called NDC propagandist for a few chillings and coins. Think Guys for Ghana is going over these behaviors ooo. How many of you have ever really "dream" of a better Ghana for you and your kids? The lady did wrong so let her face the consequences. Ghana is tired of these abusive, the unreasonable NDC propagandists and the fully of a 35 year old plus who can reason beyond demos!
They have nothing to do, what do you expect from ***barred word*** party? They think Akufo Addo is mat to be walked over. I'm really disappointed this has happened for them to call off their st*pid demonstration , they would have smell there is law in this country. Ndc if you can't stay just leave, relocate to your countries what is there that is preventing you from going home, I don't understand you people you can walk to any ECOWAS country without any sweat and you don't want to go, even Ghanaians abroad who have to spend much money to come down home do that, just a stone throw and you disturbing our minds,or ask for a land near East Africa and establish your ndc republic there, Ghana doesn't need you, you are nation. wreckers and callous individuals . You can demonstrate to the moon, stars and Mars and it will never ruffle Akufo Addo, he is a true son of Ghana and very tough guy, courageous and bold and doesnt care a bit about your noise, that strengthens him, it makes him work good, he loves that, he likes it because he believe thats part of the game and he understand the game and how to play and win. Hahahahahaha! how painful it is doing something to someone who doesn't give a fu**ck. Nana di wo hene! di wo hene ! they can go to Hell and meet their master Satan who cares? Ndc is Satanic ! PAA KWESI BEKOE RIP, but Please take your party away with you to wherever you Going, this is a humble request from true and authentic GHANAIANS!
When a nation has too many employed youth, this is what happens. Everything and everywhere turns to demonstration because they have free time to do nothing except to demonstrate.
