Dozens of supporters of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region, on Saturday joined leadership of the party, as they took their turn in the party’s Unity Walk event which since last year has been successfully executed in six other regions.
The walk which has become a part of the NDC’s strategies in rallying party members together and in the process restructure their support system, and sensitize their members to reinforce their faith and beliefs in the party as they plan to win back power after suffering a humiliating defeat in the 2016 general elections.
The event under the theme ‘Mobilisation of the Grassroots: A Shared Responsibility’, saw Former President John Dramani Mahama and other key party leaders mount the stage to speak about some activities they may not agree with, in the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
Addressing an excited crowd of NDC supporters in the local dialect (Twi), the Former President expressed great satisfaction at the turn out and adjudged their numbers the most the party has achieved since the Unity Walk project begun.
“Ashanti Kingdom we thank you. Ashanti Region we thank you. As earlier said, this place together with the other eight places we have been to for Unity Walks, truthfully I have never seen such a huge crowd. We would have been going from here to the Volta Region for the next walk but they insisted they wanted to be the last to embark on the exercise because they want to beat all the other regions by recording the best turn up, but looking at the number of people here, I think it might be difficult, “he said.
The Ashanti Region for years has been considered as one of the many NPP strongholds in the country.
The huge numbers at the NDC unity walk perhaps may be something NPP leaders find worth worrying about.

This guy doesn't learn, ***barred word*** ampa
NDC WILL COME BACK IN 3045...INSHA ALLAH
2020 will tell if the crowd is rented or not. JM for 2020
I am scandalised by this comment on crowd and the unpresidented numbers. Would some one tell that pretender of ONLY UNITY WALK, which every one knows is a come back campaign platform gaining undue advantage over his contenders in the NDC, that, Kumasi has always been a busy city and had no time for particularly NDC. This Guy amazes me. You organize an Ashanti Unity Walk by bussing supporters from all around Ashanti to converge in Kumasi and you are satisfied with Kojo Bonsu's arrangement?. My oh mine! WHY DID YOU START THE WALK FROM ABOABO NO.2 THROUGH ASAWASI, AKWETIA LINE TO STADIUM? OBVIOUS EHHN? YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH YOUR RENTED BUS TO SANTASI THROUGH DANYAME, ADUM THROUGH ASAFO TO HEROES PARK.. THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL SEE YOUR LEVEL...Keep on deceiving yourself and continue to undermine your political opponents and cheating your contenders. What Shameful rotten face of A FORMER PRESIDENT!
Strange that Mahama is still using crowds at rallies as a measure of his popularity. What kind of ***barred word*** is this? What crowds did you not have in the last election? You can bring all the crowds you wish, you will still lose miserably
Unprecedented crowd=22%, rented crowd with kids how old will these kids be in 2020? This guy mahama is damn st*pid, when you hire crowd to deceive yourself and you call it Kumasi people then you are damn st*pid. Are these crowds who are going to vote for thi*ves? Come natural man! be real man! Why this comedy ? Ghanaians know ndc stick trade is to carry people along whenever they move and then lose elections, how can the people forget about your loot and love you in about 16 months in opposition damn id*ot. He is showing g this crowd to Alabi, Bagbin, Sylvester Mensah and those ndc presidential aspirants but not NPP,he is a fo*l. How can you campaign when they haven't lifted the ban and you are not a flagbearer, this shows how st*pid this guy is. An ex - president who doesn't know the laws and don't care of the laws of the land but showing his idi*cy to be ridiculed. He should tell us those who were following him which of them was a self employed? You collect people from Asewase and call them Kumasi, you cr*zy ! Papa Kuffuor made a mistake to have created that constituency.
Unprecedented crowd= 44 percent.
The Great UMBRELLA folks have SHAKEN Kumasi and the Elephant has been seen running into a CAGE. They are shaking with fear. Keep up the good work of putting the SUPER-INCOMPETENT govt on their toes. Say it as it is. We want you back in Government. We don't want any legal GAYS and LESBIANS in God's own country.
Comfortable Lead!
