The announcement was made by Chairman of the NDC Samuel Ofosu Ampofo on behalf of the Inter-Party Resistance against new voters’ register.

These parties have held two demonstrations so far the ‘Tikusayi’ and the ‘Yenpini’ in Tamale and Kumasi respectively.

Mr Ampofo called on EC boss Jean Mensa to listen to advice and rescind their decision to compile a new voter’s register.

“Because we respect our elders, the NDC together with other parties and civil societies have suspended our series of demonstration because of chiefs who have also been drawn into the issue and given EC boss Jean Mensa a one-week ultimatum to see if she will listen to wise counsel and rescind her decision.
