Tensions ran high at a polling station in Asene Akroso, Eastern Region, on December 5, 2024, during the Special Voting exercise.

The chaos unfolded when Eric Ahinakwa, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Asene Akroso Manso, accused Sampson Kwadwo Effah, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) constituency chairman, of engaging in voter bribery by distributing money near the polling station.

In a widely circulated video, Ahinakwa is seen confronting Effah in a heated exchange, with both sides trading harsh words.

The confrontation escalated until a police officer stepped in to de-escalate the situation.
