A group of National Democratic Congress (NDC) youth on Tuesday, 10th December 2024 set the Electoral Commission (EC) office at Asuboi in the Ayensuano District on fire.
The thugs, led by NDC constituency executives in the area, were protesting the declaration of parliamentary election results in favor of New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Ida Adjoa Asiedu.
The NPP candidate secured a narrow victory, winning 18,229 votes against incumbent NDC MP Teddy Saforo Addy’s 17,182 votes, with a margin of over 1,000 votes.
Teddy, in an audio tape circulating on social media alleged to be his voice was heard inciting the NDC thugs to burn down the EC office if he is not declared winner at all cost.
The youth then set the office ablaze few minutes after the instruction of the MP.
