Gunshots rang out as an assault rendered one person unconscious following a request by NDC members for a recount in the Kasoa Kpomotey and Kasoa Old Times electoral areas.
According to eye witnesses, NDC members were protesting against a phantom polling station that appeared at the Kasoa ICGC polling centre.
According to certain NDC members at the ICGC polling site, the initial plan was for four assembly members and four unit committee members, amounting to eight ballot boxes.
However, after the election, there were five ballot boxes designated for assembly members instead of the planned four.
After the declaration of the results, some NDC members raised alarm and demanded recounts, while the NPP members argued that their polling agent had already signed, which escalated into the altercation.
In an interview with Adom News, an eyewitness, Imoro Ibrahim disclosed observing supporters from both parties exchanging blows over the issue of the additional polling station.
Imoro Ibrahim said “one individual was knocked unconscious and promptly taken to the Kasoa Polyclinic”.
But after the fight, he said, another group of people arrived and began shooting live bullets and spraying pepper spray.
The altercation reached the Kasoa Divisional Police Command where the NDC Constituency Executives, along with their supporters, surrounded the Kasoa Divisional Police Command, demanding a recount of the result from the Kasoa Old Timers electoral area.
“Old Timers as we are standing here as NDC members, we don’t have an assembly man, we are waiting for the authorities and the EC for the final verdict, so no one should hold himself as an assembly man”.
Meanwhile NDC Parliamentary Candidates for Awutu Senya East Constituency, Phillis Naa Koryo is appealing to the NDC members to accept the result from Kasoa Old Timers.
