Re-run of Walewale Primaries: Former NPP Chairman arrested

A former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Constituency Chairman, Akamara Bawa, was arrested for tearing ballot papers during the re-run of the Walewale Parliamentary Primaries.

Armed police quickly intervened, preventing angry youth from attacking him.

The police secured the ballot boxes and transferred Bawa to Bolgatanga for safety.

Dr. Kabiru Tiah Mahama, an Economic Advisor to the Vice President and one of the aspirants, condemned the incident, suggesting Bawa was trying to disrupt the process due to his candidate's impending defeat.

He called for the law to take its course and expressed confidence in the voting outcome.
