A disturbing video circulating on social media has captured the attention of the public, showing an elderly man being assaulted by a group of youths. The alleged reason for the attack is his declaration that he would vote for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) again in the upcoming elections.
The video, which has sparked outrage and condemnation, depicts the elderly man seated in a trotro, a popular form of public transport in Ghana. He is seen being physically attacked by several young individuals while other passengers look on, some attempting to intervene.
The video continues to circulate widely, prompting discussions about political intolerance and the need for education on peaceful coexistence. The condition of the elderly man remains unclear.
Below are reactions by netizens:
