Members of Get Atta Mills Endorsed (GAME) and Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings (FONKAR) in the Ashanti region have postponed their peace and unity march scheduled to be held on July 1.
The march has been postponed to a later date within next week.
The march was to demonstrate to Ghanaians that there is peace and tranquillity within the NDC ahead of ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) July 8 delegate congress in Sunyani,.
The supporters of the two candidates contesting for the flagbearership position of the party intend to use the event to unite for victory in election 2012.
According to a member of GAME and an organiser of the peace march, Francis Dodovi, the postponement is due to discussions between both parties.
He was optimist that both parties (GAME/FONKAR) will be seen together marching on the principal streets of Kumasi within next week.
“We will demonstrate to the world that after the congress we are still one united party” he added.
Francis Dodovi noted that the march is also to foster unity among members of the ruling party who are divided over the candidature of President Mills and Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings.
The GAME member stressed that it will be very difficult for the ruling party to retain power in the 2012 general elections if they come back from the congress divided.
