Wild Jubilation has begun in Tamale, the Northern regional capital, following media projection of victory for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the presidential run-off held last Sunday. The Northern region has since Ghana’s return of multi-party democracy in 1992 been the stronghold of the NDC.
Though the Electoral Commission (EC) is yet to announce the final result, supporters of the NDC have taken to some parts of the streets especially in Tamale amidst tooting of motorbike horns and beckoning the “NDC change” gestures as they ride along the streets whiles others mockingly dance to the "NPP Cangaroo" dance.
Meanwhile, the Northern regional Police Command has warned against wild jubilation across the region. In an interview, DCOP Ofosu Mensah Gyeabuor, Northern Regional Police Commander urged jubilant supporters to wait patiently for the final results to be declared by the EC and stated that the police would deal accordingly with anyone who flouts the law.
He pledged the police would leave no stone unturned to ensure maximum security and peace in the area especially following reports of minor skirmishes during the elections process which took the intervention of the security to quell.
