A clash between two factions of macho men, allegedly associated with the NPP and NDC political parties, erupted at the Assin Praso D/C School, resulting in one person sustaining injuries and causing apprehension among voters.
The confrontation involved gunshots, physical altercations, and the destruction of multiple vehicles. The injured individual was swiftly transported to the Assin Praso Presbyterian Hospital for medical attention.
