Supporters of NDC jubilate in Wa

Wa, Jan. 3, GNA - Supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Wa Municipality took to the streets on motorcycles, bicycles and in cars, with others on foot to jubilate over the Party's victory in the 2008 Presidential Election Runoff. The supporters wore the party's tee-shirts and other paraphernalia, smeared their bodies with powder amidst singing, drumming and dancing with onlookers cheering them on as they filed past in droves.

Mr Adam Issahaku, Upper West Regional Organiser of the NDC, urged the supporters to limit their jubilation to areas perceived as their strongholds and to avoid names calling during their rounds. "We are one people with a common goal and a win for NDC is a win for all people in Ghana," Mr Issahaku said.

Mr Issahaku said the Regional Executives of the party had sent messages to their supporters in the districts to behave appropriately to sustain peace. He reminded the supporters that politics was all about development and without peace, development could not take place. Meanwhile, calmness has retuned to the Wa Township and normal business transaction is ongoing. A Military patrol team was seen monitoring the situation to ensure peace.
