NPP, NDC supporters clash at New Juaben


Supporters of the opposition New Patriotic Party
(NPP) and governing National Democratic Congress
(NDC), clashed on Sunday morning during separate
health walks organised by the two parties in the
New Juaben North constituency in the Eastern
Region.

It is unclear what triggered the clashes, but
police officers had to intervene, and warned
supporters of both parties to call off their walk
and return home.

The clashes saw the destruction of various
properties.

Ali Abubakar, the NDC Constituency Secretary for
New Juaben North constituency, accused the Member
of Parliament for the area, Nana Adjei Boateng for
not restraining members of the NDC during the
clash; but rather joined them in hurling stones.

The clash comes exactly a week after a similar one
occurred between the two parties in front of NPP
Flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo’s Nima residence in
Accra during a health walk.
