5 Injured After NPP Parliamentary Candidate's Bodyguards Allegedly Attacked Registrants At Ajumako
Five persons have been injured after bodyguards of the NPP Parliamentary candidate for Ajumako Enyan Easiam constituency allegedly attacked registrants at Ajumako Bisease. Narrating cause, Dr Rashid Kwesi
Etuaful had information that people largely foreigners were being bused by the opposition NDC to some polling stations to register. The bodyguards then stormed a registration centre, ransacked the materials,
pulled down canopies, and vandalised some cars packed around. The chaos led to an abrupt suspension of the registration process since Electoral Commission officials and the applicants at the centre ran for their
lives. A joint intervention of the military and police restored law and order an hour after and the registration exercise continued. The five injured persons are still receiving treatment at the Ajumako Government Hospital. Meanwhile, the Ajumako Police Commander is to brief the media about the incident and processes undertaken so far.
