Vincent Ekow Assafuah, Member of Parliament for Old Tafo and a leading voice within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has condemned the assault on a national executive of the party Nana Lloyd during the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun, describing it as "a shameful stain on our democracy." In a Facebook post sighted by MyNewsGh, Assafuah pointed fingers at President John Dramani Mahama, saying the violence occurred right under his watch. "The assault on a national executive of the NPP is a shameful stain on our democracy.

John Mahama, this happened under your leadership.

History will not forget," he wrote.

His reaction follows a wave of violent incidents that have marred the Ablekuma North rerun held on Friday, July 11, 2025.
