New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Adentan constituency, Akosua Asaa Manu, has alleged an attack on her driver by suspected members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The incident she said occurred on Sunday, December 1, 2024, around Rowi Junction in the Adentan Municipality when the driver went to get food.
In an interview on Accra-based ChannelOne TV, Madam Manu said the information she has picked suggests one of the men was clad in NDC paraphernalia while the other wore a long robe.
“Two people got out of a car and one took a stick to hit him on his head. Deep wounds and he needed stitches and went to the hospital. This morning I haven’t been able to reach him by phone but it is very bad,” she claimed.
According to her, the driver survived the attack because he is a tough person, adding it would have been fatal if it was another person.
She disclosed that, this is not the first time people in her camp have been attacked, citing incidents from the voter registration exercise.
“It is unfortunate this has happened a few days to the election as peaceful as we have conducted ourselves despite the constant provocation. Some of my members were slapped during the voters registration and I didn’t make a fuss about it. This is a downright provocation, hoping that we will react,” she said.
Miss Manu noted her driver’s family is incensed about the incident and seeking for justice which she will ensure it’s served.
Condemning the incident, she urged peace among constituents as the election draws near, vowing to remain resolute in her quest for victory.
