Former Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development and MP for Awutu Senya East, Hawa Koomson, has revealed that her successor, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunnor, has not reached out to apologise following the Interior Minister’s confirmation that there was no attack on her convoy during the 2024 general election in Kasoa.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, the former MP said she has never had any personal interaction with Naa Koryoo, apart from a brief encounter during a pre-election programme in the constituency.
“She hasn’t called me to apologise after the Interior Minister’s disclosure. Personally, I have never spoken to her until TV3 organised a programme in the constituency ahead of the election. I have not spoken with her since she came to Kasoa for so many years,” Hawa Koomson stated.
The former MP disclosed that some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have privately admitted that the earlier claims of an attack were false and politically motivated.
“Some NDC members have called me because they knew what she said were all lies,” she noted.
Hawa Koomson expressed confidence that the full truth about the 2024 election violence in Kasoa will continue to emerge.
“God has done what He will do, and I believe there is a lot more to come,” she said.
Her comments follow the briefing by the Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mubarak, who confirmed that investigations by the Election Security Task Force found no evidence that Naa Koryoo’s convoy was attacked.
The Minister clarified that Naa Koryoo was not at the scene of the incident that led to the death of Yusif Larri Idriss, who was reportedly shot during a confrontation involving occupants of a Mahindra pickup truck.
The Kasoa constituency has long been considered a political hotspot, with both the 2020 and 2024 general elections witnessing incidents of violence and clashes between supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
