During the ongoing limited voter registration drive in Cape Coast North, the Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justice Agyemang, has been viciously assaulted, sustaining head injuries from a machete attack.
According to a report on onuaonline.com, the assault on Agyemang was allegedly perpetrated by Eric Sampson, also known as Bullet, purportedly the bodyguard of Samuel Kwamena Mintah, the Member of Parliament for Cape Coast North.
The chaos erupted at the registration center when individuals seeking to register were reportedly hindered, with suspicions that they were brought from other areas to the venue.
This led to a confrontation between the MP’s team and members of the NPP.
Reports suggest that at one point, the machete used to injure the NPP official was in the possession of the MP’s bodyguard.
Following the violent incident, bystanders rushed the victim to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
The Electoral Commission’s limited registration initiative, which commenced on May 7, aims to register eligible Ghanaians who have reached the age of 18. The registration process is scheduled to conclude on May 27.
