The Senior Staff Union (SSU) and Junior Staff Union (JSU) of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) will stage nationwide demonstrations on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, against the proposed Private Sector Participation (PSP) in the company.
The unions said the exercise will take place across all ECG operational regions and will end with the presentation of a petition to President John Dramani Mahama.
The petition will be presented to regional ministers in the respective operational regions for onward submission to the President, according to a directive issued by the unions.
The directive was signed by SSU National Divisional Chairman Christopher Apawu and JSU National Divisional Chairman Lucky Larry Agboka.
The demonstrations will run from 8am to 4pm.
In Accra, ECG workers will assemble at the forecourt of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), while workers in Kumasi will gather at the ECG Regional Office at the Airport Roundabout.
Workers in other regions will assemble at their respective ECG regional offices.
The unions said the routes for the demonstrations would be communicated later, with participants expected to return to their assembly points for a briefing before dispersing.
The planned demonstration forms part of the unions’ wider opposition to the proposed PSP arrangement.
The unions said their red-armband protest, which began earlier this month, would continue until another phase of their action is announced.
They will also establish national and regional committees to coordinate the demonstrations.
The Public Utility Workers Union (PUWU), which is convening the exercise, will lead the demonstrations.
The unions said PUWU had notified the Inspector General of Police of the planned action in accordance with Section 1(2) of the Public Order Act, 1994 (Act 491).
Further details on the organisation of the demonstrations will be communicated through the relevant committees.
