The Deputy National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Chris Lloyd Nii Kwei Asamoah, has been assaulted by a group of unidentified thugs at the Odorkor Methodist 1 Polling Station during the ongoing parliamentary election rerun in the Ablekuma North constituency.
Although full details of the incident are still emerging, several eyewitness accounts indicate that the violence began when a group of men arrived at the polling station in a pickup truck. The assailants reportedly forced their way into the voting centre, overpowering the police officers stationed there to maintain order.
Video footage from the scene shows Mr Asamoah attempting to block the men from entering the premises. In the process, he was physically attacked, slapped and punched repeatedly in the face by the group.
