\n

Supporters of the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP) and opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) clashed yesterday evening at the Electoral Commission\u2019s Metro Office in the Northern Regional capital, Tamale.<\/p>\n

The clash resulted in some firing of gunshots at the Electoral Commission office which disrupted the limited voters\u2019 registration exercise.<\/p>\n

Some persons were injured in the process.<\/p>\n

The limited voters\u2019 registration exercise ended on Sunday but some persons who were already in queues were given chits to come the next day to be registered.<\/p>\n

Some unknown persons stormed the EC office and started shooting sporadically, dispersing the crowd at the venue.<\/p>\n

They went ahead to lock up the Electoral Commission\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Both NDC and NPP have accused each other of masterminding the shooting.<\/p>\n

Regional executives of both Parties have called on the police to arrest the perpetrators of the shooting.<\/p>\n
