Aggrieved supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have continued their protests over alleged electoral fraud, calling on likeminded persons to join them in a fasting and prayer session on Friday. The leadership of the party, although it felt cheated by the outcome of last Friday�s election results, told them to be restrained, go home and trust in the ability of the courts to deliver justice. But keeping to their vow to pitch camp like the Egyptians did at Tahrir Square for a prolonged protest against the election results, hundreds of supporters massed up at the Holy Gardens (Obra Spot) near the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra Wednesday. The area has however been saturated with military and police personnel fully armed to ensure law and order. Joy News� Elton John Brobbey, who disguised himself in order to join the protesters, told Top Story Wednesday the charged supporters were asked to go home as dusk was coming on. Though he saw no notable faces at the event, he said that some people present asked the supporters to return at 8:00am Thursday, and to bring enough food and water to allow them to occupy the place until the following day.
