Political historians in Ghana may have to sieve through their archives and compare notes following one of the biggest peace walks Accra has ever seen.
For the young, undecided and first time voters, the significance of seeing supporters of the two major political parties walking on different sides of the road but singing the same peace and unity song would be etched in their minds as they vote.
The weekly recreational walks began as far back as October 2012 as an initiative of the various pro-Mahama groups led by Zongos for Mahama.
However in recent weeks, the numbers have steadily rose, culminating in the biggest turn out on the last weekend before elections.
Leading the march from the front with the theme ''Your opponent is not your enemy'' was Movement for Mahama, Youth for Mahama, Young Democrats and Students for Mahama as well as other closely related NDC youth campaign groups.
Yaw Ampofo Ankrah who was leading the march with Movement for Mahama praised the thousands of NDC youth who had started to converge as early as 5am for their comportment and discipline ''This is exactly the sort of event that motivates me as a new student on the political scene. I wish we can repeat this all over Ghana and show that indeed we have more that unites us than divides us. I have no doubt that our youth would carry this attitude to vote massively for John Mahama on Friday''
