Gunshots were reportedly heard at a voter registration centre in the Cape Coast North constituency of the Central Region.
According to Adom News’ Kofi Adjei, the shots were fired by individuals purportedly guarding the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate, Horace Ekow Ewusi.
The incident occurred on Thursday morning and was allegedly aimed at preventing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) from registering a group of individuals bused in from Moree in the Abura Asebu Kwamankese constituency.
Tensions escalated at the voter registration centre as NPP members vowed to prevent NDC members from registering in the ongoing limited registration exercise.
This led to a confrontation between NPP and NDC members, culminating in the firing of gunshots. During the altercation, the phone of the NDC constituency Youth Organizer, Godfred Onso Nyameye, was reportedly seized, further exacerbating the situation.
Following the incident, Mr. Ewusi was chased from the registration center and forced into his car, which then drove away. As of now, no arrests have been made.
