Supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Wednesday trooped to the Independence Square to observe the swearing-in of Professor John Evans Atta Mills as the President of Ghana.
By 0700 hours, various streets of Accra were filled with people wearing NDC paraphernalia. Some were in buses and others walking towards the Independence Square cheering and shouting the NDC slogan in twi, "ya sesa mu" which means "we've made a change".
Beatrice Addo, a trader, said she was attending the ceremony because she fully supported the NDC and she had to be present to show her total commitment to the party.
Others among the supporters had different motives for attending the ceremony. Ibrahim Musah, a photographer, said even though he supported the NDC, he was attending the ceremony to make some money since there were many people at the venue.
Prof. John Evans Atta Mills would be sworn in on Wednesday at the Independence Square as the third President of the Fourth Republic of Ghana.
