Ashanti Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Andrews Nana Akwasi, has called for calm and responsible celebrations following the party's electoral success.

Expressing optimism of excellent delivery, the chairman emphasized the party's commitment to a peaceful transition of power while strongly condemning any acts of violence or looting.
