Pressure group, Let My Vote Count Alliance, have said it will head to the Supreme Court to seek interpretation on the Circuit Court injunction that cancelled their protest march which was scheduled for today, Tuesday September 29.At a press conference in Accra Tuesday, the group stated that they suspect an “executive” influence in the actions of the police against their push for a new voters’ register.

The Police secured an injunction to prevent opposition group, Let My Vote Count from picketing at the Electoral Commission (EC) on September 29.

This was after an Accra Circuit Court ruling quashed an earlier ruling by an Accra Magistrate Court which ruled that it cannot grant the permission of the police because the motion they filed had expired.

The group scheduled their demonstration aimed at pushing the EC to create a new voters' register ahead of the 2016 elections for Tuesday September 29.The Police have, however, insisted that the objective of the group in insisting to picket at the EC office is to cause damage to the equipment of the electoral body.
