The New Patriotic Party (NPP) invited hundreds of their supporters to participate in a Mega health walk on Saturday, April 8, 2023, as part of the Kwahu Easter celebrations.
The walk started at Kwahu Bepong at exactly 7:30am and is expected to end at Mpraeso, with the theme “Let’s arise and build Ghana together (Nehemiah 2;18).”
Many participants held placards with various slogans such as “It is possible to break the 8”, “Unity is key”, “No more dumsor”, “One constituency”, “One ambulance”, “Teacher trainees allowance paid”, “I am for Dr Bawumia because of the universal or code payment system”, and “NPP is the best.”
Notable personalities in the NPP, including Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, General Secretary Justin Koduah Frimpong, Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Easter Regional Minister Seth Kwame Acheampong, National Youth Organiser Henry Nana Boakye (also known as Nana B), Deputy Minister for Tourism Mark Okraku-Mantey, CEO of the GTA Akwasi Agyeman, and the Municipal Chief Executive for Kwahu South Emmanuel Atta Ofori Snr., were present at the health walk, as well as a number of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives from different parts of the country.
The NPP loyalists, wearing the party’s colours and paraphernalia, danced to blazing brass band and ‘gyama songs’ as the procession passed through various streets to their destination point. The police and other security agencies were present to provide security for the patrons of the health walk.
The health walk was organized to enable the party members as well as the Kwahu Easter revelers to improve their health. The Kwahu Easter celebration has gained popularity not only in Ghana but internationally due to the various activities held during the event, drawing revelers from different parts of the world to the communities in the Kwahu enclave in the Eastern region.
