These were contained in a statement signed by the Regional Secretary, Mohammed Shamsudeen Ali which called on all supporters to join in and make the visit memorable.
At least two persons lost their lives in a shooting incident after NDC supporters clashed with security personnel.
The confusion is said to have erupted when the supporters prevented the presiding officer from declaring the New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate, Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah as the winner.
The angry supporters then started attacking the Presiding Officer by pelting stones and accusing him of rigging the election.
