NDC supporters take over Collation Centre at Adentan Constituency
The Collation Centre for the Adentan Constituency has been completely occupied by scores of supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as they await the declaration of their candidates as winners of the general elections.
Though the directive from the Electoral Commission has been to restrict the centre to only accredited persons, hundreds of supporters as early as 6am, began arriving at the centre, the Conference Hall of the Victory Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana St Adenta Frafraha.

On Saturday night, the police did well to prevent such a take over as they kept them out behind the main gate, but they may have underestimated the situation as most of the police personnel left in the middle of the night.
Only three policemen could be seen, certainly inadequate to handle the situation
Though some of them left the hall after the Returning Officer made an announcement for them to leave, they all rushed back when their parliamentary candidate, Mohammed Adamu Ramadan arrived for the declaration.
Subsequent announcements for the supporters to leave, were ignored, compelling the EC officials to also withhold the announcement until.the night thing was done.
