Former Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, Mavis Hawa Koomson, has claimed that she was physically assaulted by thugs thought to be affiliated with the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the just-held rerun of parliamentary election in Ablekuma North constituency.
In a post on her Facebook page, the former Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya West described her assailants as "NDC machomen" who attacked her while she was peacefully observing proceedings at one of the polling centres. "I wish to inform the general public that while peacefully observing the ongoing election rerun in Ablekuma North Constituency, I was physically assaulted by NDC machomen.
During this unfortunate incident, my personal mobile phone was forcibly taken.
