Calls for President Akufo-Addo to resign as Ghana's president have become intense as hundreds of protestors thronged the streets of Accra.

The aggrieved citizens clad in red and black attires are demonstrating against the country's current economic state.

The cedi had lost more than 30% of its purchasing power against the US dollar as of September, partly pushing inflation rate to 37.2 per cent, the highest in almost two decades.

The local currency is selling at about GHS13.7182 against the dollar on the forex.

Currently, a litre of petrol is going for about GHS18, and that for diesel, close to GHS24, as such, transport operators have increased transport fares.

Meanwhile Ghanaians are demanding that government should relief the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta as well as the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Charles Adu Boahen of their duties.
