Tension brews at EC’s Eastern Regional office [Video]

-

There is brewing tension at the Eastern regional office of the Electoral Commission following a near brawl between New Patriotic Party(NPP) and National Democratic Congress(NDC) supporters.

The incident was triggered after a man (identity unknown) attempted to prevent the vehicle of the NDC Eastern Regional Chairman, Dr. Mark-Oliver Kevor from entering the premises.

The confrontation did not go down well with the driver who engaged in a near fisticuffs with the man.

It took the intervention of the Police and some party executives of both sides to separate the two.

The confrontation did not end after the NDC chairman entered the EC office.

The NDC executives present at the EC office blamed the Nsawam Adoagyiri MP, Frank Annoh- Dompreh of being the cause of the tension.

They accused him of refusing to concede defeat to the the NDC candidate, Philibert Selorm Fummey in the hotly contested parliamentary primary, on Saturday.

Dissatisfied with the turn of events, one of the followers of Annoh- Dompreh threatened to beat the regional organizer of the NDC, Hackman Seidu Kabore if he dared confront the MP.

This led to a near free-for-all fight between supporters of both parties.

Once again, the police led by the regional commander, DCOP Emmanuel Twumasi Ankrah intervened.

The EC on Monday had called to resolve all parliamentary election results disputes in some constituencies after Saturday’s elections.

The affected constituencies are; Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Suhum, Fanteakwa North and Suhum constituencies.
