Clad in black and red attire, the angry NDC supporters chanted war songs and hoisting placards to express their displeasure.

The supporters want the Chairperson of the EC, Jean Mensa to declare the results in favour of John Mahama because they claim the EC rigged the elections.

They clashed with the Police who managed to disperse it in the end.

After the protest, 26 persons were arrested by the Accra Regional Police Command.
