The 12th-anniversary wreath-laying ceremony and memorial service for the late former President John Evans Atta Mills is being held at the Asomdwee Park, near the Black Star Square.

The event has not been without drama and chaotic incidents.

Individuals who claims to be among the family of the late president vented their spleen against the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) over unfair treatment.

They expressed their decision not to cast their ballot for the party in this year's general election. According to them, they will vote for the New Patriotic Party's flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has been spotted at the event together with the party's flagbearer, John Mahama and his running mate, Naana Opoku Agyemang.

On July 24, 2012, Atta Mills, who was suffering from throat cancer, died in hospital in the country's capital. A statement from his office said the 68-year-old died a few hours after being taken ill, but did not give details.
