Obuasi East: Alleged NDC official clashes with military amid gunfire

A confrontation between an alleged NDC Communications Officer and military personnel disrupted voting at a polling center in Obuasi East.

The altercation reportedly began over objections to the soldiers' presence at the location.

Eyewitnesses say tensions escalated when the officer attempted to film the incident, prompting resistance from the soldiers.

Both sides reportedly exchanged videos during the standoff, which culminated in gunshots that caused panic among voters.

Authorities have yet to clarify whether the shots were warning signals or linked to the clash.

The incident has reignited concerns over military deployment at polling centers during elections.

An official statement on the matter is awaited as investigations continue.
