The NDC Member of Parliament for the Asuogyaman Constituency, Thomas Ampem Nyarko, led a violent mob into Akosombo, aiming to break into a house and assault a group of young men and women whom he labeled as "foreigners" and barred from registering in the Asuogyaman constituency.
Ampem Nyarko reportedly incited his hooligans with orders like "Break the door, beat them, kill them," prompting them to forcefully enter the houses and attack the occupants, including young women.
The NPP Parliamentary Candidate, Hon. Pius Enam Hadzide, had provided accommodation for some party agents and operatives, as well as seven individuals who were unable to complete the registration process due to delays.
These individuals hailed from distant areas within the constituency, and Hadzide justified the arrangement as both practical and cost-effective, particularly for young first-time voters.
Perceiving the occupants as registrants brought in from the Volta region, Ampem Nyarko launched into a tirade against Ewes, labeling them as "foreigners" ineligible to register in Asuogyaman.
This sparked criticism from the NPP, accusing Ampem of ingratitude and hypocrisy, given his past reliance on Ewe votes.
Residents expressed strong disapproval of the unruly behavior exhibited by the NDC hooligans and their MP, condemning it as unfitting for a member of parliament.
