The Ghana Police Service has launched a manhunt for thugs who stormed the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council, disrupting the Council of State Regional Elections in Kumasi on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
Eyewitnesses reported that the attackers forcefully entered the venue, overturned tables, destroyed ballot boxes, and scattered voting materials, forcing Electoral Commission (EC) officials to suspend the process.
The chaos is believed to have been sparked by the unexpected defeat of National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate Yaw Owusu Obimpeh, who was widely tipped to win.
Aggrieved supporters allegedly instigated the violence, demanding a review of the results.
In a statement, the Ghana Police Service confirmed ongoing efforts to review all available footage to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
Authorities assured the public that those responsible will face justice, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining law and order.
