There have been controversial scenes in Akweteyman as some individuals were seen engaged in an altercation over a misunderstanding during the elections on December 7, 2024.

Per a report by JoyNews, numerous constituents are disgruntled over allegations of land guards being present in the constituency. It was noted that some persons have sustained injuries in the course of the scuffle.

Military personnel have been deployed to the area to restore law and order as the tension continues to brew.

The constituents are agitating that some unknown individuals beat them, with some sustaining injuries. They blame the incident on the NPP parliamentary candidate in the constituency, Ama Dokua for bringing people to cause mayhem.

Former Deputy National Secretary of the NDC, Peter Otokunor, has called on the police to calm tensions as the controversy intensifies.

“They asked me, so when I said I was a member of the NPP, they hit me at the back and my legs as well, which has hurt me,” one constituent told JoyNews.
