“The party will proceed to organize a walk in memory of our great founder on Sunday, Nov 22, 2020.”

It further reads: “All the five metro constituencies will start the walk from their respective constituencies and then converge at the Takoradi PWD Park to climax the event.”

The statement said the event will be attended by former Cadres, past and present regional executives of the party, former ministers of state, parliamentary candidates and it is open to anyone who believed in the ideals of their founder.
