Tensions are escalating in Awutu Senya West due to the destruction of New Patriotic Party (NPP) signboards and posters.
The region has been plagued by incidents of vandalism targeting NPP campaign materials, raising concerns about increasing political tensions ahead of the upcoming elections.
Eugene Arhin, the NPP parliamentary candidate, has called for calm and urged all parties to exercise restraint. He emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and civility in the community, despite political differences.
Mr Arhin appealed to residents to avoid engaging in acts of violence or destruction, stressing that such actions only undermine the democratic process and sow discord within the community.
In his statement, Mr Arhin reiterated the need for dialogue and peaceful coexistence, urging residents to channel their grievances through lawful means rather than resorting to violence or vandalism.
“I urge all NPP members and supporters to refrain from retaliating. We must uphold the law and maintain peace in our constituency. I have full confidence that the law enforcement agencies will take appropriate action and address this issue,” Mr. Arhin stated.
