Nana Addo already set the target of the demonstration as an ice-breaker. NPP is to lead the cry for better governance. Who will follow?

Nana Addo thanks the crowd. He says the problem of the crowd is his problem too. It is very difficult to hear im without a megaphone. Some level of disorganisation is apparent.

Demonstrators finally converge at the Heart of Oak Park. It has taken an hour for leaders to join. Nana Addo will end this with an address.

It is not clear, the direction of the demonstrators. Some tributries of protesters have broken out as groups find their way to the final assembly center. Myjoyonline's Nathan Gadugah who is at the GNA office in Accra reports that some demonstrators appear lost and are completely outside the approved route.

But a significant number are on track to the Hearts of Oak park

11:55am

The crowd have followed a huge inflated elephant to the Independence Square as the final assembly point. But the Police is directing them to the Heart of Oak training pitch. This demonstrators will choke this pitch - not big enough.

Alan, Bawumia, Kwabena Agyepong, Paul Afoko line up in the foremost row of the demonstration.

The protestors are at Rawlings Park. They are moving through the Methodist Book Shop towards the Accra Central ECG office. Some songs they are singing have some unprintable lyrics. Full of insults.

The strategy of the organizers is paying  off. They had wanted to use the Kantamanto market to arouse the participation of any demonstrations most potent force – women. The market women have taken a 'commercial break' to do some dancing.

The  Kantamanto sellers,hawkers and market women have stopped their business and taken time to dance their support.

The crowd pour out through Accra Central as the Police throw their hands up in despair. The Elephants have won the little controversy.

The police step in to prevent the demonstrators on the Adabraka-Central market road from using the Accra Central end of the road but the police insists they take a turn towards the TUC end of the road.

NPP MP for Obuasi who is known for launching his protest in courts than in the streets says he is absolutely excited to see the numbers. Kweku Kwarteng explains that it is not always easy to pull off such a crowd but people prefer to find their daily bread than look for a placard.

Pupils of Rev. Ernest Bruce School at Adabraka still find a way to express themselves in solidarity to the demonstration. They are chanting "Mahama is a dumsor"

The "Won gbo' demonstration has taken off. Thousands have taken to the main Adabraka-Central road chanting and berating Mahama government for sufferring they are enduring.

The demonstrators are finding it difficult to move out of the Obra Spot. The numbers too large for a rallying point too small.

The 2016 flagbearer expresses satisfaction at the numbers. He says the demonstration is not about the NPP. Ghanaians, he says are looking for leadership during this moment of power paralysis and the NPP is taking that leading, breaking the ice for further expression of dissent and discontent.

Nana arrives to a tumultuous welcome

NPP flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo has arrived at the Obra Spot to a tumultuous welcome by partisan supporters. He is flanked by party General Secretary Kwabena Agyapong and other party gurus. The crowd is agitated. Some blow trumpets others honk their horns but are eager to listen to the words he has for them before the crowd set off for the demonstration.

9:25am NPP protesters clad mainly in black t-shirts or red arm bands have amassed at the Obra Spot with placard some which read. Some supporters from the Central region came long with their canoes and fishing nets.

“Mama Wata bring Castro back and take Mahama”. “Bringback our ‘sor’” – emphasizing it is no longer dumsor – only dumdumdum.

This demonstration will raise questions about the organizational prowess of the NPP or raise questions about government’s ability to govern. Whatever happens, there will be questions.

Riot police look relaxed but ready.

The NPP in a few hours will take their political frustrations against the govt onto the streets to protest three years of chronic power paralysis which has left many Ghanaians restless during the day and sleepless at night.

Lives have been lost to this power crisis and so has jobs. The NPP accused severally of being a sloppy-sleeping lazy opposition appears to have suddenly found their voices and their feet and have threatened to march onto the streets on Wednesday with an audacious call on President John Mahama to resign if he can’t fix the power crisis.

Myjoyonline.com, your most credible news website will provide live update of the demonstration, and report with pictures and videos, the twist and turns of what may well be a defining moment for a party hungry to govern or maybe begin a sad journey of political suicide for an equally hungry opposition party.
