One dead in shooting incident at Awutu Senya East
A shooting incident in the Awutu Senya East constituency of the Central Region has left one person dead and another critically injured after occupants of a V8 vehicle opened fire in Saturday's polls.
Information gathered indicates that both the deceased and the injured individual are believed to be members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to reports, the incident occurred after the NDC Parliamentary Candidate, Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunor, allegedly declared herself the winner of the parliamentary elections.
The reports suggest that unknown assailants followed her and opened fire as they were heading home after observing the vote counting and collation exercise.
Ghana Police Service sources have since confirmed that the victims were supporters of Phillis Naa Koryor.
That constituency is known to be a hotspot as it has recorded similar violent incidents during other electoral activities.
This will be the second fatality in Ghana's election after a similar shooting incident in the Tolon Constituency of the Northern Region left one person dead. The Police have since arrested four suspects in that incident.
