A man affiliated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was brutally attacked in Gbi-Bla, a town located in the Hohoe Constituency of Ghana’s Volta Region.
The incident, which has sparked significant outrage online, was captured in a video that has since gone viral, showing the victim being assaulted by a group of supporters linked to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
These NPP supporters are loyal to the current Member of Parliament (MP) representing the area.
Reports indicate that the violence erupted after the NDC supporter was spotted tearing down campaign banners and posters promoting the NPP’s candidate ahead of the upcoming elections.
This act of vandalism incited anger among the NPP supporters, who felt compelled to take matters into their own hands rather than addressing the situation through legal channels.
Eyewitness accounts reveal that tensions had been escalating in the area, and the defacement of campaign materials acted as the tipping point.
The NPP supporters confronted the man, leading to a physical confrontation that left him with serious injuries. Following the assault, the victim was promptly rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
The violent episode has heightened political tensions in the Hohoe Constituency, raising concerns about the potential for further conflict as the election date approaches.
Observers and political analysts are warning that such aggressive actions could lead to a more volatile environment, calling for peace and dialogue among rival political factions.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the heated political climate in Ghana as various parties gear up for the electoral battle.
