Additionally, commemorations were held in selected municipalities in Accra, including a march in the Korley Klottey Municipality, hosted at the prestigious Accra High School.

As the parade inspection progresses, anticipation is mounting for the delivery of Independence Day speech by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
