Members of the Let My Vote Count Alliance (LMVCA) have rescheduled their second demonstration from Tuesday to September 29, 2015.
The change in date follows negotiations with the police. The demonstrators are demanding a new voter’s register, with a claim that the old one is bloated.
A demonstration in Accra last week turned bloody, with scores of the members getting injured.
Some of the protestors were also arrested and charged.
The police accused them of attempting to march to the Electoral Commission’s headquarters in contravention of a court injunction.
Convener David Asante Boateng told Joy news they will still march to the EC on the new date.
Next week’s protest according to the group is also to honour all those whose human rights were abused by the police last Wednesday.
“We will demonstrate against State violence. We will march for Justice for Justice Adzakumah, the young man whose tragedy symbolised the police atrocities of September 16.
“We the people of Ghana refuse to be intimidated and silenced by state violence. They may mock us and add insults to the injuries they inflict on us. But we shall stand up for what is right and just”, the group said.
Meanwhile, Justice Adzakumah whose left eye was hit by a stray rubber bullet during the violence has lost the ability to see with that eye.
He told Joy News in an interview he went to the demonstration to lend support for the change of voter’s register which they claim was bloated but was hit by the bullet fired by the police.
He said he was told by doctors at the 37 Military Hospital that he will never see again with his left eye.
