Three supporters of the independent candidate for Agona West, Cynthia Morrison, have allegedly been shot and injured by an unidentified person at Agona Nyakrom in the Central Region.
Reports indicate that the incident occurred on the evening of Sunday, October 27, 2024, during a mini rally, when a sudden power outage affected the area.
The victims are now receiving treatment at the hospital.
Cynthia Morrison and her team fled to the police station to report the case.
Some eyewitnesses alleged that the shots were fired by a man in the back of a black campaign vehicle suspected to belong to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary candidate.
"The gun was fired from one of the campaign cars belonging to Chris (NPP Parliamentary candidate). As the car drove past, a young man hit the vehicle repeatedly. The driver stopped and got out, and as the young man who hit the vehicle tried to flee, the man fired the gun but it hit three people who sustained injuries" a male eyewitness narrated to GHOne News Yaw Boagyan.
No arrest has been made so far.
