Tension emerged among supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Awutu Senya West over the ongoing voter registration exercise today.

The exercise, which began on Tuesday morning, has been marred by confusion regarding attempts by the two dominant parties to prioritize the registration of their respective members.

According to Adom News’ Kofi Adjei, there is a queue that applicants must join for the process to proceed smoothly. However, some NPP executives allegedly sought to have their supporters registered first, claiming they arrived early.

The NDC resisted this move, leading to heated exchanges between the two sides. Police officers deployed to the registration centre intervened and managed to bring the situation under control.
