A clash erupted between supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Bommoden, a town within the Krachi West district of the Oti Regio
The altercation occurred around 6:30 PM, sparking tensions that have been simmering for some time.
The conflict was triggered by a disagreement over who should lead the deployment of DRIP machines, which are intended to enhance road connections to the Krachi West District Assembly.
These machines are a crucial part of the district’s infrastructure improvement plans, and both parties have vested interests in overseeing their operation.
As the confrontation escalated, one person was seriously injured. The injured individual was promptly rushed to Dr Bawuah Clinic in Kete Krachi, where they are currently receiving medical attention.
The severity of the injury underscores the intensity of the clash, which could have led to even more tragic outcomes had the situation not been contained.
Local authorities have since been called to intervene and restore calm to the area.
The police are investigating the incident to determine the exact circumstances that led to the violence.
Both the NPP and NDC have been urged to counsel their supporters on the importance of maintaining peace, particularly in light of the upcoming elections.
The residents of Bommoden are now left grappling with the aftermath of the violence, hoping for a swift resolution to the underlying issues that sparked the confrontation.
It remains to be seen how this incident will affect the ongoing political dynamics in the Krachi West district, but it is clear that the road ahead will require careful navigation to prevent further conflicts.
