Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George launched a scathing attack against former Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia after the latter condemned recent election violence. The Ningo-Prampram MP fired back at Bawumia through social media, demanding silence from the former veep. George reminded everyone about the 2019 Ayawaso West Wuogon incident where thugs beat him up during that controversial by-election. His Friday post challenged Bawumia about his previous inaction when violence erupted years earlier. The minister questioned whether the former vice president had spoken out when opposition members faced brutal attacks.
Friday's parliamentary rerun brought more than 6,000 voters to 19 polling stations across Ablekuma North constituency. Electoral Commission officials organized the fresh voting after failing to verify results from December's disputed elections. Chaos erupted when armed thugs stormed St. Peter's Polling Station and brutally assaulted multiple victims including working journalists. Police officers stood by helplessly as the violence unfolded before their eyes. Another disturbing incident saw a uniformed officer attacking a reporter at a different polling center.
Bawumia condemned the mayhem during his media appearance, calling for swift justice against all perpetrators. The 2024 NPP presidential candidate described attacks on his supporters, party officials, and the parliamentary candidate. He demanded that President Mahama's administration prosecute everyone involved in the electoral violence. Bawumia warned that his party would pursue accountability regardless of how much time passes. The former vice president expressed frustration about police failures to protect citizens during the democratic process.
