The event which was held in Changsha, a vibrant city in China, was massively attended by party faithful, sympathisers and well- wishers accross China.

The euphoria and the joy which greeted the event was evident among the enthusiastic crowd who were dressed in party colors, chantting party slogans.

He urged members to contribute their quota towards making the chapter one of the best .He further reminded members on the need to use the website judiciously and productively to propagate the image of the party and matchless achievements of His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to Ghanaians and the rest of the world.
