NDC supporters in jubilant mood

Koforidua, Dec. 3, GNA – Hundreds of National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) supporters both young and old, on Saturday poured onto the streets of Koforidua to celebrate the party’s victory in the presidential election. Minutes after Dr Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, Chairman of the Electoral Commission (EC), announced that Professor John Evans Atta Mills, the NDC presidential candidate, had won the election, the supporters some of whom were clad in party paraphernalia took to the streets amidst singing and dancing.

Commercial drivers, especially taxi drivers tooted their horns violating road traffic regulations. Ms Joana Mensah, a trader, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that she was happy that the NDC had won the election and said the people of Ghana had spoken. She expressed the belief that Professor Mills would move the country forward and appealed to all Ghanaians to bury their differences to help to accelerate the pace of development.

Mr Edward Mainoo, a driver, said he was happy that the NDC had won the election to save them the problems of paying high prices of fuel in addition to rising electricity and water bills. He commended Dr Afari-Gyan for being courageous to withstand intimidation and threats from some quarters. Mr Mainoo was optimistic that Professor Mills would live up to expectation to justify the confidence Ghanaians have reposed in him.
