Obrempongba Kwame Owusu was given a dirty slap for capturing a brawl between two candidates at a polling station during the party’s parliamentary primary.
In the process, his video camera and mobile phone were damaged after the barbaric attack.
This angered the GJA Volta region chapter which has since boycotted all activities of the NDC in the region.
