Hundreds of supporters and sympathizers of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), have poured onto the streets of Kumasi Metropolis in the Ashanti Region, to participate in the party’s Unity Walk.
The walk, which is being led by former president John Dramani Mahama, saw the party’s members move through principal streets within spme part in Mumasi.
According to Otec FM’s Emmanuel Asiamah the walk has already started in earnest with supporters clad in their party paraphernalia chanting party songs.
The Saturday morning exercise forms part of the NDC’s efforts towards fostering unity within the party, after its humiliating defeat in the December 2016 election.
The walk he said, started at the Aboabo post office with the supporters heading towards the Manhyia round after which they will converge at the Asawase MA school park to be addressed by leading members of the party.
Ex-president John Mahama who has been a key patron of previous unity walks in the other regions is present.
Former President John Mahama’s active participation in the recent unity walks as well as some of his recent public utterances, have led to suggestions that he plans to lead the party again into the 2020 presidential elections.
Other former government appointees including Julius Debrah who was the ex-Chief of Staff, former Deputy Power Minister John Jinapor, ex- Deputy Ashanti Region Minister Joseph Yamin, former Mayor Kojo Bonsu and Asawase MP Muntaka Mubarak are all present, Appiah stated.
