The tense parliamentary rerun at the Ablekuma North constituency on Friday, July 11 has descended into some violence, leaving former Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Mavis Hawa Koomson, caught in the chaos.
Details remain unclear, but viral videos circulating on social media appear to show the former MP being mobbed as she attempted to intervene and separate rival factions. Some accounts suggest that she was attacked in the scuffle, though the extent of her injuries is unknown.
The unrest reportedly escalated at the St. Peter’s polling station, where a group of unidentified macho men allegedly stormed the premises, disrupting the process and unleashing violence. The commotion forced electoral officials and security personnel to intervene in an effort to restore order.
Authorities are yet to issue a formal statement on the incident, as tensions continue to simmer around the rerun.
