Chaos erupted at the St. Peter Society polling station when muscle-bound thugs crashed the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun vote. The gang attack sent Electoral Commission workers scrambling for cover while they temporarily shut down the balloting process. Former Fisheries Minister Mavis Hawa Koomson took a brutal beating along with other New Patriotic Party bigwigs during the daylight assault. Security forces rushed reinforcements to the scene after the attackers dragged and pummeled political officials. Rev. Ntim Fordjour from Assin South arrived at the station after peace returned to survey the damage.
The shaken MP blasted the violence as a threat to Ghana's democratic reputation and demanded an end to electoral bloodshed. He warned that continued attacks would destroy years of progress and tarnish the country's peaceful voting tradition. NPP parliamentary candidate Nana Akua Afriyie pointed fingers at political rivals for staging the coordinated assault on her supporters. She claimed enemies sent the thugs to scare away voters and crush her chances of winning back the seat. The candidate revealed that another supporter landed in the hospital after getting attacked at the Light of Gospel Miracle Church polling station.
Party officials fired off an urgent appeal to Police Inspector General Christian Tetteh Yohuno demanding immediate action. They want more security deployed to protect voters and party agents from further political violence. The NPP branded the attacks as a calculated scheme to derail the entire electoral process. Authorities face mounting pressure to arrest the perpetrators and prevent future election chaos. The violence has sparked widespread condemnation from political leaders across party lines.
