Disturbances at Electoral Commission’s Office in Kasoa Spark Calls for Investigation

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Awutu Senya East Constituency of the Central Region is demanding a thorough, transparent, and unbiased investigation into the recent disturbances that took place at the Electoral Commission’s office in Kasoa. The incident, which occurred on Sunday morning, resulted in the arrest of the party’s constituency organiser, Daniel Techie Mensah, and the Parliamentary Candidate after an altercation that allegedly led to one person being stabbed.

The injured individual, identified as Ato Koomson, is the son of NPP MP for Awutu Senya East and Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mavis Hawa Koomson. He is currently receiving treatment at the 37 Military Hospital after sustaining a stab wound to the chest. The NDC has expressed concern over the arrest of its members, stating that it appears selective and raises questions about the impartiality of the police’s response.

In a statement issued by the Constituency Communication Officer, Comrade Stephen Delali Sowoekpor, the NDC emphasized that they are closely monitoring the police’s actions regarding the incident, especially in light of the historical context of attacks on NDC supporters allegedly orchestrated by Hawa Koomson.

Statement from the NDC

The NDC Communication Bureau of the Awutu Senya East Constituency has condemned the violent incident that occurred at the Electoral Commission’s office in Kasoa. According to the statement, the NPP violated an agreement with the police and the main political parties in the constituency by busing in a group of individuals to the center in the early hours of the morning. This led to a confrontation between the NPP members, the police, and the NDC supporters present at the scene.

The situation escalated when Ato Koomson, accompanied by additional individuals, arrived and engaged in violent attacks against the NDC members. Two members fainted, and one, identified as Asmah, suffered significant injuries, requiring medical attention. The NDC is calling for immediate intervention and justice in response to these actions.

Call for Action

The NDC is urging the police to conduct an immediate and impartial investigation into the incident to ensure that all perpetrators are held accountable, regardless of their political affiliation. They are also calling for the protection of all citizens, particularly NDC members who have been targeted in the past. The party stresses the importance of respecting and adhering to agreements made to maintain peace and order during electoral processes.

In conclusion, the NDC remains committed to advocating for justice and the safety of its members in the Awutu Senya East Constituency. The party will continue to monitor the situation closely and seek justice for those affected by the recent disturbances at the Electoral Commission’s office in Kasoa.

Signed,

Comrade Stephen Delali Sowoekpor

Constituency Communication Officer
