Political tensions surged in the Binduri District of the Upper East Region on Thursday, April 24, 2025, following the rejection of the President's nominee for District Chief Executive (DCE).
Samuel Azure, who was recently elected as the Presiding Member and serves as the Assemblyman for the Kaadi Electoral Area, was reportedly assaulted shortly after the vote, according to eyewitness accounts.
Observers claimed that the incident occurred just moments after the assembly overwhelmingly voted against confirming the nominee.
Some witnesses alleged that the attack might have been linked to the outcome of the confirmation process, though the specific motives behind the assault remain unclear.
