Former Member of Parliament (MP) and ex-Fisheries Minister Mavis Hawa Koomson was assaulted by thugs during Friday’s parliamentary rerun in the Ablekuma North constituency, according eyewitness account.
The electoral rerun was violently disrupted when a group of unidentified “macho men” stormed the premises in coordinated fashion, arriving in a pickup truck accompanied by multiple motorbikes, forcing panic among voters, electoral personnel and security forces.
According to the account, the former minister, alongside several political figures, was assaulted by their assailants, who had earlier overpowered the security detail at the St. Peter’s Society Methodist Church polling station in Odorkor.
Disturbing video footage shows her being forced to the ground and reportedly stomped in the chest and groin area before officers intervened.
Other victims included NPP parliamentary candidate Nana Akua Afriyie and a female party agent, both reportedly injured amid the turmoil. Enditem
