NDC, NPP supporters clash at Asawase, several injured

A violent confrontation erupted between supporters of the NDC and NPP after NDC members discovered that equipment intended for the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) was branded with NPP logos and stored at the hotel of an NPP candidate.

The clash began when NDC supporters attempted to photograph the equipment and were met with resistance, leading to a scuffle between the two groups, according to reports.

Local police initially intervened but had to request additional support from the regional command, which dispatched the counter-terrorism unit to restore order.

Among those injured was the NPP constituency chairman, the report indicates.

In the aftermath, NPP supporters paraded the DRIP equipment through the streets of Asesewa before delivering it to the district assembly.

In response to the incident, MP Bismark Tetteh Nyarko denied allegations that the NPP candidate personally funded the DRIP equipment.
