Former Greater Accra Regional Minister, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus-Glover, has described the assault on Awutu Senya East MP, Mavis Hawa Koomson, during the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun as a “clearly orchestrated attack.”
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Titus-Glover, who said he witnessed the incident, claimed the attack was carried out by thugs deliberately brought into the constituency.
“There is no reason why elections should be marred by violence. Hawa Koomson’s assault was clearly orchestrated. It was planned. You could see those thugs were brought specifically for an action. The boys who attacked her should be found. This is not where we want to see this country,” he stated.
He called for a collective national effort to rid Ghana’s electoral processes of violence.
“We can argue, but violence is not an option,” he added.
The incident occurred at the St. Peter’s Society Methodist Church polling station in Odorkor, where eyewitnesses reported that unidentified men arrived in a pickup truck and on motorbikes, disrupting the voting process. Madam Koomson, who attempted to defend herself with pepper spray, was reportedly overpowered and assaulted.
