The Ashanti North Regional Police Command has arrested seven people, including the alleged ringleader, Kwame Afrifa Mensah, after violence disrupted the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Efigya Sekyere East Constituency Executive Elections at Wiamoase in the Ashanti North Region.
The Ashanti North Regional Police Command said officers quickly restored calm at the polling station, allowing the electoral process to continue under heightened security.
When security personnel questioned the group about their presence, they reportedly became aggressive, attacked police officers and disrupted the election by throwing electoral materials onto the ground.
