Executives of the Ashanti Regional New Patriotic Party (NPP) say their planned “ya ye den” demonstration will come off on Tuesday.
The demonstration is to protest what the party describes as “unprecedented hardship and the continuous power outages in the region”.
Minority Members of Parliament in the Ashanti region have already declared their full support for the upcoming mass action.
Ashanti Regional Secretary of the Party, Samuel Pynne told Citi News, the march is expected to draw a huge number of residents who will demonstrate through the principal streets of Kumasi.
He said the demonstrators will converge on the State Boys’ Park near the Suame roundabout by seven o’clock in the morning.
“We are going to go through the Bantama High Street, to Komfo Anokye Roundabout, through Kejetia, through Pampaso, Adum and through to Asafo, to the Zongo Police Station to Allah Bar and we will end at the Abyss Park where we will address the demonstrators,” the regional party scribe outlined.
Mr. Pynne indicated that Members of Parliament and other National Party Executives had already begun arriving in the region to complement their efforts.
He however warned participants not to come there in party colours but attend the demonstration clad in red and black to demonstrate their mournful and serious demeanour towards the protest.
He further assured that the security services have pledged their full support towards offering adequate protection to any member of the march from its inception to the final delivery of speeches at the Abyss Park
