The commissioning of the District Road Infrastructure Project (DRIP) equipment in the Gomoa West District of the Central Region has led to a clash between supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The Monday, September 16, 2024 event was triggered by the questioning of members of the NDC on why the posters of Bismark Basie Nkum, the NPP’s Gomoa West parliamentary candidate were on the DRIP machinery.
That resulted in a disagreement which almost led to a fight between the two groups of supporters.
The Parliamentary Candidate, who is also the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Gomoa West, further claimed that the Member of Parliament for the area, Richard Gyan Mensah, brandished a pistol and issued threats against the NPP’s local leadership.
A viral video circulating on social media captured the DCE accusing the MP Richard Gyan Mensah of pulling out a gun and threatening NPP supporters during the heated incident.
