Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has paid a visit to Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson at her residence following a violent incident during the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun held on Friday, 11th July.
The visit comes amid reports that Hawa Koomson was physically assaulted in what the opposition has described as a coordinated attack, allegedly involving individuals affiliated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Hawa Koomson, a former Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development and former Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, was among several New Patriotic Party (NPP) officials reportedly targeted during the disruption of the rerun election.
According to the Minority in Parliament, the attack on her was part of a broader pattern of electoral violence aimed at intimidating NPP figures and disrupting the democratic process.
Dr. Bawumia’s visit was widely seen as an expression of solidarity and concern for her well-being.
He expressed deep disappointment over the incident and called for a thorough investigation.
“Such violence has no place in Ghana’s democracy, and we must ensure that those responsible are held accountable,” Dr. Bawumia said.
The Ablekuma North rerun, which witnessed several violent confrontations, has attracted widespread condemnation from civil society, the media, and political stakeholders.
