The Agona West Constituency in the Central Region has witnessed a violent clash between supporters of incumbent Member of Parliament Cynthia Morrison and New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate Chris Arthur.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred on Sunday October 27, 2024, during a campaign rally, leaving four people injured, including Haruna Rashid, Agona West NPP Constituency Nasara Coordinator.<\/p>\n
Background of the Conflict<\/p>\n
The Agona West constituency has been a hotspot for political tensions, with Cynthia Morrison, the incumbent MP, facing opposition from within her own party.<\/p>\n
In the NPP primary, Morrison lost to Chris Arthur, who is now the party\u2019s parliamentary candidate. Morrison has since decided to run as an independent candidate.<\/p>\n
The Incident<\/p>\n
On October 27, 2024, Chris Arthur\u2019s convoy encountered a roadblock allegedly set up by Cynthia Morrison\u2019s supporters in Agona Nyarkrom.<\/p>\n
As the convoy attempted to turn away, shots were fired, and Haruna Rashid was struck in the ribs.<\/p>\n
Three others were also injured.<\/p>\n
Cynthia Morrison\u2019s Accounts<\/p>\n
In an interview on radio, Cynthia Morrison denied any involvement in the shooting, stating she was unaware of the gunfire at the time.<\/p>\n
She explained that her focus was on her campaign program, and she only learned of the incident afterward.<\/p>\n
Chris Arthur\u2019s Response<\/p>\n
Chris Arthur recounted the incident, describing how his convoy encountered the roadblock and the subsequent shooting.<\/p>\n
He alleged that unidentified individuals poured alcohol on their driver, causing him to lose control, before two men approached and shot Rashid.<\/p>\n
Investigations<\/p>\n
The police have launched an investigation into the incident and are working to identify the perpetrators.<\/p>\n
The Central Regional Police Command has increased its presence in the area to maintain peace and order.<\/p>\n
Reactions<\/p>\n
Alhaji Jibri Tanko, Agona West NPP Constituency Chairman, condemned the violence, warning supporters to avoid intimidation.<\/p>\n
Cynthia Morrison also called for calm, stating that she would cooperate with the police investigation.<\/p>\n
