The ATS was jam-packed to capacity with an overflow of citizens dressed in the CPP official colors of red, white, and green, spread outside the stadium on the United Nations Drive and Lynch Street in Monrovia.
Citizens began converging on the ATS as early as 10 a.m. local time, six hours ahead of the official program.

Addressing the tens of thousands of partisans, supporters, sympathizers and well-wishers, the CPP Standard Bearer expressed gratitude to the organizers, Legislative Aspirants and all Liberians for the huge turnout at the "Victory Rally".
Cummings assured Liberians that a CPP Government will mark a turning point in the economic life of the Liberian people and will provide decent paying jobs, restore basic infrastructure including good roads, hospitals and schools as well as other social services that will ease the suffering and extreme poverty.
He urged Liberians to turn out en masse on October 10 and give President George Weah a "red card" for his poor leadership performance which has subjected the vast majority of citizens to extreme hardship and deplorable living conditions.
Earlier, CPP Vice Standard Bearer Counsellor Charlyne M. Brumskine cautioned Liberians against repeating past mistakes of electing wrong leaders blamed for the hardship and suffering of the vast majority.
She denounced the 12-year rule of the Unity Party for rampant corruption and the six-year inept leadership of President Weah for massive fraud and poor governance.
The CPP Vice Standard Bearer urged Liberians to reject both the Unity Party and the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) at the October 10 poll.
"You can't leave from 12 years of suffering, endure another six years of hardship and suffering and want to go back. Liberians must vote them out," Counsellor Brumskine said.
