The police command of the Ashanti region, which should ensure the safety of the protest march, obtained an injunction after reporting logistical problems due to this year's Ramadan festivities.
The NDC regional section for the Ashanti region had notified the police to participate in a protest march on 3 June 2019 to oppose the "online registration of voters by EC district". .
The party said in a statement signed by its regional secretary, Kwame Zu, that this action, dubbed "Ye Npene / Baa Mu Yada", was intended to deter the EC from going ahead with what plan.
The NDC indicated that the plan, if allowed to be enforced, would deprive many eligible Ghanaians of voting rights.
According to the statement, the march against the EC would start from the Aboabo post office on the main streets of Kumasi and end at the Ashanti regional office, where a petition would be presented.
The NDC said the protest march would also serve to denounce what it describes as "a blatant attempt to torpedo the country's electoral laws, accusing its supporters and supporters of wearing black or red clothes to emphasize the severity of the plan." .
Police lawyer, Kwaku Boateng, argued that the planned demonstration against the EC in Kumasi was going to overburden the logistics of the forces of order, which the court accepted.
He therefore banned the action on the scheduled date, baderting that the constitutional right to participate in a demonstration or demonstration of any individual or group is accompanied by the right to protection of the police.
He ordered the police to summon the NDC to a meeting to reprogram the protest after the Ramadan festivities.
