The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is expected to hold this year’s June 4th celebration events in the Hohoe constituency of the Volta region.
This year’s event is expected to bring to Hohoe some very top officials of the party including the party’s flagbearer for the 2024 general elections, former President John Dramani Mahama as the Special Guest of Honour.
Activities to mark the 2023 celebration will begin with a health walk in the morning of Saturday, June 3 and a subsequent public lecture at the campus of the St. Francis College of Education (FRANCO).
On Sunday, the event will be climaxed with a wreath laying activity at the E.P Park, Hohoe.
Despite calls from some political opponents for the scrapping of the celebration, it remains a significant event on the calendar of the NDC which is used to mark the 1979 Revolution led by the party’s founder, the late Jerry John Rawlings.
The revolution according to the NDC, was meant to awaken the conscience of the nation and to imbibe in the citizenry the principles of probity and accountabilty.
A statement issued by the Volta regional communication officer of the party, Kafui Agbleze is calling on the general public and members of the party in particular to “actively participate in this historic event in Hohoe.”
The 2023 celebration is on the theme: “Saving Our Democracy: the Spirit of the June 4th.”
