V<\/strong>VIOLENT clashes between supporters of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) were recorded during the ongoing limited registration exercise by the Electoral Commission (EC) across the country.<\/p>\n

Violence
\nerupted last Friday at Asokore-Mampong in the Asawase Constituency in Kumasi,
\nleaving at least three people, including a woman, injured when supporters of
\nthe two political parties pelted each other with bricks and stones amid
\nwrestling and throwing of fisticuffs.<\/p>\n

DAILY
\nGUIDE<\/em><\/strong> gathered that the fight,
\nwhich began at the precinct of the EC office, broke out when some top NDC
\nmembers attacked one NPP supporter called Zeinab Jibril.<\/p>\n

Zeinab
\nwas said to have been given a double slap by an NDC leader in the constituency
\nafter she pulled off the veil of a lady the NDC member had brought to the
\nregistration centre to register.<\/p>\n

Immediately
\nafter the double slap, it became free-for-all fights when some members of the
\nNPP went to Zeinab\u2019s rescue. It angered the NDC supporters who started throwing
\npunches and stones.<\/p>\n

In
\nthe course of the melee, windscreens of vehicles were smashed, while three
\npeople sustained injuries on their cheeks, ears and hands. All the injured were
\ntreated and discharged by the Manhyia Government Hospital on Friday shortly
\nafter the incident.<\/p>\n

Hohoe Violence<\/strong><\/p>\n

At
\nHohoe in the Volta Region, more than 150 registration forms were destroyed by
\nagents of the NPP and the NDC following a misunderstanding between the party
\nagents over the data captured by the officials of the EC.<\/p>\n

The
\nscuffle disrupted and delayed the registration process for about five hours.<\/p>\n

An
\nNPP agent had challenged the eligibility of a registered voter and claimed
\nthere were discrepancies between the data captured daily about the voters by
\nthe EC and the data recorded by the NPP.<\/p>\n

Anthony
\nKondobrey, the NPP\u2019s Hohoe Constituency Chairman, said the party became alarmed
\non Thursday, 27 June, 2019, when the EC\u2019s data on registered voters showed that
\n200 registrants had been captured by the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR)
\nmachines as compared to the 145 recorded by the party\u2019s agent.<\/p>\n

He
\nsaid the party became more vigilant and challenged the registration of some
\nunqualified persons.<\/p>\n

George
\nBright Anni Bansah, the NDC Hohoe Constituency Chairman, however, said the
\ndiscrepancy occurred only once, and did not warrant intimidation of first-time
\nqualified voters by the NPP.<\/p>\n

He
\ncalled on the police to arrest those behind the destruction of the materials,
\nsaying their actions were against the law.<\/p>\n

Kwabena Karikari, the Hohoe Municipal Electoral Officer, confirmed the destruction of the materials and said none of the parties called on the EC to express any grievances.<\/p>\n
