NPP, NDC Supporters Clash During Festival At Ekumfi Ekortsi.

Supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) clashed during a festival celebration at Ekumfi Ekortsi in the Ekumfi District of the Central Region.

According to information gathered, both parties were present at the durbar to witness the occasion when the incident occurred.

It was reported that in the course of the programme, a disagreement arose between the two parties over who should be given the opportunity to speak first.

The misunderstanding reportedly led to heated arguments between supporters of the two parties, which later escalated into blows, disrupting the festival.

The incident is said to have caused confusion and brought the durbar to an abrupt halt, to the dismay of the gathering.

The clash reportedly happened in the presence of Nananom, the Member of Parliament for the area, the District Chief Executive (DCE), as well as supporters of both the NDC and NPP.

Eyewitnesses say efforts were made by some elders and leaders present to restore calm and allow the celebration to continue.

As at the time of filing this report, it was unclear whether anyone was injured or arrested in connection with the incident.

Residents have appealed to political leaders to promote peace and tolerance, especially during festivals and public gatherings, to ensure unity and development in the Ekumfi District.
