Gunshots were fired, and one person was rendered unconscious during an assault that ensued after NDC members requested a recount in the Kasoa Kpomotey and Kasoa Old Times electoral areas.

Witnesses reported that NDC members were protesting against a perceived phantom polling station at the Kasoa ICGC polling center.

According to some NDC members, there were supposed to be four assembly members and four unit committee members, totaling eight ballot boxes, but after the election, there were five ballot boxes designated for assembly members.

This led to demands for a recount, resulting in a physical altercation between NDC and NPP members.

Imoro Ibrahim said “one individual was knocked unconscious and promptly taken to the Kasoa Polyclinic”.

Following the altercation, another group arrived and began firing live bullets and spraying pepper spray.

The situation escalated to the Kasoa Divisional Police Command, where NDC Constituency Executives and their supporters surrounded the police command, demanding a recount of the results from the Kasoa Old Timers electoral area.

“Old Timers as we are standing here as NDC members, we don’t have an assembly man, we are waiting for the authorities and the EC for the final verdict, so no one should hold himself as an assembly man”.

In the wake of the violent incident, NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Awutu Senya East Constituency, Phillis Naa Koryo, is urging NDC members to accept the results from the Kasoa Old Timers electoral area.
