Veteran investigative reporter Manasseh Azure Awuni blasted the brutal chaos that swept through Ghana's re-run of the Ablekuma North parliamentary election. Political thugs stormed polling centers on Friday, July 11, to vote, beating up former Fisheries Minister Hawa Koomson and attacking journalists covering the event. The mayhem forced election officials to halt voting at St. Peter's station and multiple other locations for several hours. Awuni fired back against the violence through a Saturday, July 12 social media blast that called out partisan supporters. The respected journalist warned that such barbaric behavior makes all Ghanaians appear savage to international observers.
