Scores of NDC members and sympathizers today Sunday ignored church services to mark the commemoration of the 31st December Revolution day in Ho.
Many churches remained closed, with few opened ones being empty as at 9 am and others rescheduled to start service later after the commemoration of 31st December Revolution.
Some sympathizers and party faithfuls, both young and old, poured onto the streets of Ho at about 5 am for a rout march to herald the celebration.

The event attracted founding members of the National Democratic Congress, national and regional executives of the party, members of Parliament and former ministers of state.
The commemoration is being held under the theme: " Uniting around the principles of probity, accountability and social justice."
