Police Storm NDC Meeting as Minister, Chairman Clash Over Election Venue

Tension reportedly broke out at the Central Regional office of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following a disagreement over the venue selected for the party’s upcoming regional elections.

According to a Citi News report, supported by a video circulating on social media, Regional Minister Eduamoah Okyere Ekow Panyin allegedly faced threats of physical attack from individuals believed to be affiliated with Regional Chairman, Prof. Richard Kofi Asiedu, as he attempted to intervene in the dispute.

Footage of the incident shows police officers intervening to prevent the confrontation between the two party officials from escalating further.

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

The disagreement reportedly centred on the choice of venue for the NDC’s forthcoming Central Regional executive elections, with the dispute eventually resulting in a tense confrontation at the party’s regional office.
