Police Intervene as Minister and Chairman Clash at NDC Regional Office Over Election Venue

Tensions reportedly flared at the Central Regional office of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following a disagreement over the selection of a venue for the party’s upcoming regional elections.

According to a report by Citi News, which was accompanied by a video circulating on social media, Central Regional Minister Eduamoah Okyere Ekow Panyin allegedly faced threats of physical attack from some individuals believed to be associated with Regional Chairman, Prof. Richard Kofi Asiedu, while attempting to intervene in the dispute.

The footage shows police officers intervening to prevent the confrontation from escalating further as tensions mounted between the individuals involved.

However, other accounts circulating on social media have presented a different version of events, alleging that the Regional Minister attempted to physically assault Prof. Richard Kofi Asiedu during the heated disagreement.

The reported confrontation is said to have been triggered by conflicting positions over the venue for the NDC’s forthcoming Central Regional elections.
