The flagbearer of the party for the December 7 election, John Dramani Mahama, the former minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu and chairman of the campaign team, Professor Joshua Alabi, were among the key personalities spotted at the event.
In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, some foreigners were also spotted among the supporters singing and dancing during the health walk.
The two foreigners, assumed to be Middle Eastern, were seen clad in the red, green, white, and black paraphernalia of the NDC as they walked to get fit for the electioneering season.
Per the Ghanaian electoral laws, foreigners and dual nationals are not allowed to vote or partake in election activities in the country.
It is unclear whether the two foreigners hold Ghanaian citizenship or not.
