One person sustained gunshot wounds, and several others suffered minor injuries when a gun was fired through a crowd during a mini-rally in Agona Swedru.
According to Citi News, supporters of Chris Arthur, a candidate, were returning to Agona Swedru from a campaign launch in Otinkorang, a community in the Agona West area.
Along the way, they encountered supporters of incumbent MP Cynthia Morrison at Agona Nyankrom, who were also campaigning.
As they passed through the crowd, a gun was unexpectedly discharged, injuring Haruna Rashid, Chris Arthur’s campaign team manager, who sustained gunshot wounds to the ribs.
Other supporters were also injured in the chaos and were taken to Agona Swedru Government Hospital for treatment.
