Police Secures Injunction To Stop LMVC Demo


An Accra Circuit Court has granted an injunction filed by the Police Service to stop the Pressure Group, "Let My Vote Count" Alliance (LMVC) and other groups from picketing at the Electoral Commission on Tuesday.

The decision quashes an earlier ruling by another court which ruled that it cannot grant the permission of the police because the motion they filed had expired.

The Circuit Court in its ruling has also asked the group not to embark on any other demonstration until October.

“It is hereby ordered that the organisers of Let My Vote Count Alliance are restrained from demonstrating on the 29th of September 2015 but fix another date in October to give the police adequate time to prepare to ensure the safety of the demonstrators and the general public.”

The group scheduled their next demonstration aimed at pushing the EC to create a new voters' register ahead of the 2016 elections for Tuesday September 29.
