In 2016, during a New Patriotic Party (NPP) rally in Osu, an unidentified individual in the crowd threw a stone at opposition leader Akufo-Addo while he addressed supporters.
Akufo-Addo, who was on the second leg of his tour in the Greater Accra Region, had visited Alajo in the Ayawaso Central constituency before proceeding to Osu Klottey Korle on October 5, 2016.
As Akufo-Addo spoke about the need to remove President Mahama and the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) due to alleged economic mismanagement, he was interrupted by a stone thrown by an unknown individual.
Although momentarily disrupted, he continued his speech, stressing the importance of supporting the NPP’s parliamentary aspirant for the area, Philip Addison.
Addressing the incident, Akufo-Addo expressed disappointment but urged supporters to remain focused on the party’s objectives.
“Someone just threw a stone at me, why?” he asked. But he quickly resumed his delivery, saying: “No problem, this is our politics in Ghana.
“I would wish that when we are moving [to the Flagstaff House], you allow Philip Addison to come along with me. Our party, the party of the Elephant, we know of only one candidate for Klottey Korle. He is Philip Addison. We know of no other person. We go to primaries to elect someone before he can contest [on our ticket]. So please make no mistake – NPP is the only party capable of removing the NDC from power. No other political organisation in Ghana can do it.”
He emphasized that the NPP, represented by Addison, was the sole viable option for replacing the NDC in power.
No arrests were made in connection with the incident, and the motive remains unclear.
