By Ato Koomson, the son of the MP for Awutu Senya East and the Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mavis Hawa Koomson, has reportedly been stabbed following a disturbance near the Electoral Commission’s office at Kasoa.
Available information suggests that Mr. Koomson was in critical condition when he was rushed to the 37 Military Hospital for treatment.
Sources say another person was also injured during the altercation.
Providing additional details, an eyewitness stated that the confusion erupted when supporters of the ruling NPP and the opposition NDC disagreed over the positioning of certain residents in the queue during the ongoing voter ID card transfer and replacement exercise.
The source explained that both parties typically reserve spots in the queue by placing chairs, but a disagreement over who should occupy a specific chair began around 4:00 am.
Mr. Koomson reportedly arrived at the registration center approximately 45 minutes after the altercation began.
He is then purported to have approached the NDC organizer at the registration center to assist in resolving the issue.
However, another alleged member of the NDC started to verbally abuse him.
According to King Adawu, a member of the NPP who also sustained a minor cut, the purported NDC member produced a knife during the altercation between the two individuals, stabbing the Minister’s son in the chest.
King Adawu informed Adom News’ Kofi Adjei that he attempted to block the knife, resulting in an injury to his hand.
Subsequently, the two were rushed to the hospital where he was treated and discharged while Ato Koomson has been admitted.
Meanwhile, the police have apprehended the primary suspect as investigations into the incident continue.
