Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 51077, member: 636"] Thugs pounced on Chris Lloyd Nii Kwei Asamoah during Friday's chaotic parliamentary rerun at St. Peter's Polling Station in Odorkor. The NPP Deputy National Organiser got jumped by a gang of attackers who kicked and punched him while cameras rolled. Voters scattered as the mob pinned Asamoah down and beat him senseless during the Ablekuma North contest. Security guards failed to stop the brutal assault that left the party official bloodied and bruised. Social media footage shows the politician trying desperately to escape before getting overwhelmed by his attackers. The violence shut down voting completely as panic gripped the polling center during the December election rerun. Witnesses described total mayhem when the unidentified men stormed the station and targeted NPP officials. Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie and former minister Mavis Hawa Koomson also faced attacks during the same incident. Electoral Commission workers organized the rerun across 19 stations to settle the months-long dispute from last year's contested vote. The assault raised serious questions about whether officials can protect party representatives during future elections. NPP insiders called the attack deliberate political violence designed to frighten their operatives away from polling stations. Party leadership has yet to release any formal response about the beating caught on video. Political watchers demanded immediate police action against those responsible for the assault. The incident highlighted growing concerns about election security as Ghana prepares for future democratic exercises. Critics warned that unchecked violence could seriously damage the country's reputation for peaceful elections. [/QUOTE]
