Hawa Koomson made the statement while addressing claims about the circumstances surrounding her survival after the incident. She denied using spiritual powers or juju to protect herself, insisting that her physical fitness played an important role in helping her endure the attack.

“I don’t use any juju. It was my daily exercise routine that helped me survive after being assaulted during the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun elections,” she said.

Her statement has brought renewed attention to the incident that occurred during the parliamentary rerun elections in the Ablekuma North constituency. The election was marked by reports of violence and confrontations, raising concerns about the safety of political figures and other participants in Ghana’s electoral process.

The incident involving Hawa Koomson attracted public attention because of the seriousness of the assault and the wider concerns about political violence during elections. The incident also highlighted the need for stronger security arrangements to protect candidates, party officials, journalists and voters during electoral activities.

By attributing her survival to her daily exercise routine, Hawa Koomson has dismissed suggestions that supernatural powers played a role in helping her withstand the attack. Her comments also draw attention to the importance she places on physical fitness in her daily life.

The Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun remains an important point of discussion in conversations about electoral security and political conduct in Ghana. Incidents of violence during elections can undermine public confidence in the democratic process and discourage people from participating freely.

Hawa Koomson’s latest remarks have therefore renewed interest in the circumstances surrounding the assault and her account of how she managed to survive it.
