Election 2020: Two suspected NDC supporters injured in Kasoa shooting
The two alleged National Democratic Congress (ND) supporters have been rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention
Two persons believed to be supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are injured following a shooting incident near the Church of Christ Polling Station at Kasoa in the Awutu Senya East constituency of the Central Region.
According to our reporter, it is yet to be established whether the incident, which happened 300 metres away from the polling station is related to the ongoing elections.
Earlier reports suggest the perpetrators of the crime were in a Black Toyota Land Cruiser who opened fire on a Kia Salon car that was driving out of the polling station.
The two injured persons have been rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention. This is not the first time a shooting incident has occurred in the area.
Kasoa shootings
The incumbent Member of Parliament, Mavis Hawa Koomson, in July this year admitted to firing shots at a registration center in the Awutu Senya East Constituency during the voters’ registration exercise.
This, she said, was done in self-defense.
Despite efforts to justify the move, the act was largely condemned by the public, with many calling for her arrest.
