Odododiodoo NDC supporters go gay

Accra, Dec, 29, GNA - The declaration of provisional results of Sunday's Presidential Runoff in the Odododiodoo constituency in the Greater Accra Region, sent supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into a haywire celebration. At Odododoiodoo where supporters of the NDC were most vociferous, the chanted NDC slogans, displayed party paraphernalia, tooted horns, criticised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and called for change in government.

The GNA reporter observed that some NDC supporters besieged the forecourt of the City Engineers collation centre at James Town in the Constituency and said they wanted to prevent any rigging by the NPP but security personnel were able to control the situation. Supporters of the NDC and NPP espoused the philosophies of their parties and claimed that they were clinching victory in the runoff.

After the declaration of the provisional results, indicating success for the NDC, party supporters made gestures signifying victory and chanted party slogans and tooted car and motor horns. Ghanaians went to the polls to elect the next President of Ghana after the NDC's Professor John Evans Atta Mills and NPP's Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo failed to win more than 50 percent of the total votes in the December 7 presidential polls.
