The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has condemned in the strongest terms an alleged violent attack on the Member of Parliament for Amenfi East, Nicholas Amankwah, and his constituency executives by the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Raymond Nana Ebbah, and his supporters.
According to the party, the attack left the Constituency Secretary, the Zongo Caucus Coordinator, and other executives seriously injured after being assaulted with cutlasses.
The incident is said to have occurred as a result of the MCE’s alleged opposition to his preferred candidate for the DRIP Coordinator appointment.
Reports indicate that the DRIP Coordinator, Kwabena Amo Fosu, was presenting his appointment for endorsement by the Municipal Assembly and the Western Regional DRIP Team when the attack took place.
The NPP noted that the assault occurred in the presence of the Municipal Police Commander and his officers.
Describing the attack as “a brazen act of aggression” and “an affront to democracy,” the party called on the National and Western Regional Police Commands to investigate the matter, arrest the perpetrators, and ensure they are brought to justice.
The party further demanded the immediate suspension of the MCE pending the investigation.
In a statement, the NPP expressed solidarity with Hon. Amankwah, the injured constituency executives, the DRIP Coordinator, and all members of the Amenfi East Municipal Assembly.
The party emphasized its commitment to upholding democracy, justice, and the rule of law, urging citizens to condemn the act and demand accountability.
