Ghanaian media personality, Berla Mundi, has called out the National Democratic Congress for infiltrating the Ablekum North elections with thugs.
She noted that the NDC strongly opposed such actions while in opposion.
It is disappointing for her that NDC, now in power, is engaging in similar behaviour as the NPP.
"You condemn the Npp for unleashing thugs on people during elections only to repeat the same thing? And you want Ghanaians to believe you are any better? It's an election, not a war zone. If you dont agree with someone's action or presence, you don't go beating the person up! These thugs should be arrested and prosecuted!" She wrote on X July 11.
The Electoral Commission (EC) is holding an election in 19 polling stations of the Ablekuma North to provide its constituents with a representative after the 2024 parliamentary elections.
However, voting in two polling stations; the Odorkor Methodist 1 polling station and St. Peters polling station in the constituency, was suspended following chaos.
At the Odorkor Methodist 1 polling station in the Ablekuma North constituency, some individuals engaged in a fisticuff with the police personnel. Also, a JoyNews journalist was slapped by an unknown individual.
Former Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development and Member of Parliament for Ewutu Senya East Constituency, Hawa Koomson, has been assaulted by a group of men at the Ablekuma North rerun election.
In a video gone viral, a man lunged at Hawa Koomson, pushing her to the ground. Another person was seen kicking her.
The Police officers present intervened and prevented further attack against Hawa Koomson.
Former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reacted to the violence in the ongoing parliamentary rerun in Ablekuma North.
He noted "This is not the democracy that we want to see in Ghana. Our supporters are being attacked by thugs in the presence of the police who have been unable to protect them".
A security expert, Dr Ismaeel Norman, has stated that the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohono, must take responsibility for the unrest in the ongoing Parliamentary rerun in the Ablekuma North constituency.
Speaking to the media on Friday, July 11, he explained that the feud is a result of poor coordination between the police.
He has called on the constituents to cease any acts of violence and allow the electoral process to proceed peacefully and lawfully.
