Thousands of demonstrators from the youth wing of the National Democratic Congress, Ghana’s opposition party, took to the streets of Accra, to protest police brutality and bad governance.
Gatekeepers News reports that thousands of demonstrators from the youth wing of the National Democratic Congress, Ghana’s opposition party, on Thursday took to the streets of Accra, the nation’s capital, to protest police brutality and bad governance.
In June, two persons were shot dead following a clash between #FixTheCountry protesters and the military in Ghana.
On Tuesday, protesters gathered in Accra to ‘March For Justice’ over the killings, economic hardships and to demand better governance from Nana Akufo-Addo, the country’s president.
Tuesday’s rally was the first major protest by the National Democratic Congress since March, when a top court dismissed the opposition party’s challenge to Akufo-Addo’s re-election victory late last year.
Akufo-Addo won a second term but gained only a small majority in parliament.
He has since been under pressure from political opponents as Ghana struggles with economic woes amplified by the coronavirus pandemic.
