A fatal shooting incident targeting the vehicle of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate in the Awutu Senya East Constituency has claimed one life and left two others injured.
The tragic event reportedly occurred near the candidate’s residence, creating panic within the community and temporarily disrupting the electoral process.
Eyewitness accounts suggest the incident began as a heated dispute among party supporters before escalating into violence. Gunmen opened fire on the candidate’s vehicle, injuring two individuals. The victims were promptly rushed to a nearby medical facility for emergency treatment.
Earlier in the day, a separate shooting incident at Odupongpehe Zion Park, unrelated to politics, left one person injured. The altercation, linked to a chieftaincy dispute, occurred near a polling station. The suspect reportedly had an argument with another individual, which led to the shooting. The gunfire missed the intended target, hitting an innocent bystander instead.
