Ghana's biggest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has postponed their intended demo over the dismissal of the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Charlotte Osei.
The postponement is due to the sudden death of NDC member and former Vice President Paa Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur.
