The Ashanti Democrats group has announced plans to hold a vigil in Accra to demand an end to the current power outages.

Following a successful vigil in Kumasi on April 18, the group believes it is necessary to bring the demonstration closer to Ghana’s administrative capital.

The Dumsor Vigil, organized by the Ashanti Democrats and led by Jerry James Sukkah, is a demonstration against the erratic power supply across the country. The date for the Accra edition is yet to be announced.

Henry Osei Akoto, one of the leaders of the event, emphasized the importance of holding the vigil in Accra to increase pressure on the government and draw attention to the severe impact of the power outages on businesses and livelihoods.

“We will mobilize Ghanaians on the streets soon if you don’t resolve ‘dumsor.’ The inconvenience is just too much. You promised Ghanaians you were going to give us an uninterrupted power supply, [but] see where you have brought us.
