The Police Service has captured another suspect as part of its investigations into the disturbance that marred the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Ashanti Regional Executives election on November 13, 2022.

Bashiru Atta’s arrest on Tuesday, November 13, brings the number of persons apprehended to four.

On Monday, Yahya Shaibu Tia, Fati Ibrahim, and Husien Yakubu were arrested.

They are accused of being part of a group that assaulted a police officer, as well as sprayed pepper from a device onto some delegates.

The trio were arraigned before the Atwima Akropong District Court after their arrest on Monday.

After the court hearing, Fati Ibrahim was granted bail with three sureties; however, the remaining two have been remanded into police custody.

Meanwhile, Bashiru Atta is yet to be put before the court of law.

The fight that broke out last Sunday also resulted in injuries to one of the perpetrators. According to reports, two individuals who were injured have received medical attention.

Over 1,200 delegates of the NDC gathered at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium to elect new regional executives.

Following the elections, Augustus Nana Akwasi Andrews retained his position as the Ashanti regional chairman of the NDC.

With 637 votes, Mr Akwasi Andrews beat his main contender, Evans Amankwa, who polled 572.
