The rally was not only to celebrate the NDC's victory, but also to forge unity among the supporters.
Mr Owusu-Ansah noted that, the rank and file of the party would give persistent reminders to the President to enable him fulfil his promises and also keep him on track. He reminded NDC supporters to desist from insults, insinuations, victimization and acts that would undermine good governance, rule of law, peace and stability of the country.
