The Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Samuel Nartey George, has called out former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia over his condemnation of the violent incidents in Ablekuma North.
This follows Dr. Bawumia’s condemnation, which Mr. George believes is selective criticism since he didn’t condemn the assault he received in Ayawaso West Wuogon.
The MP, Samuel Nartey George, was assaulted by some security personnel believed to be members of the SWAT team of the Ghana Police Service during the 2019 by-election.
A video captured Mr. George shouting at the security personnel in a parked vehicle, claiming they wanted to kill a man in his house.
During the exchange, one of the security men stepped out of the parked pick-up truck and slapped him.
He was then punched by another person in uniform suspected to be part of the security team. The video, which went viral on social media, indicates that the attack on the MP resulted in fisticuffs between the police and NDC supporters.
“This is so wrong, this is so wrong, but no matter how long, you kill a man in his own house ?” The legislator was seen exclaiming.
Reports indicate that the assault on Sam George was connected to an incident that occurred at the La Bawaleshie polling station, where some groups of persons were shot by unknown gunmen, disrupting the voting process.
The MP filed an official complaint with the police, which he claims has still not received the needed attention.
Meanwhile, Dr. Bawumia had indicated that the ongoing attacks at some polling stations during the rerun of elections at 19 polling centres in Ablekuma North on Friday, July 11, 2025, do not speak well for Ghana’s democracy. However, according to Sam George, Dr. Bawumia should have condemned previous attacks before this one.
In a social media post on Friday, July 11, 2025, Mr. George called out the former Vice President.
“Someone should tell Bawumia to shut up. What did he say about Ayawaso West Wuogon in 2019?” he posted.
