The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), have reachead an agreement to pull out of the ongoing Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency by-election over gun violence that greeted the voting process at the La Bawaleshie JHS polling station. 

National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel ofosu-Ampofo said the party has instructed their agents at all polling stations in the constituency to leave their post in the wake of the tension triggered by the firing of gunshots leading to the injuring of some people.

Heavily armed men in masks said to be national security operatives stormed a house behind the La-Bawaleshie Presbyterian Basic 1 School polling station where they allegedly fired some gunshots injuring six persons.

The house is said to belong to the NDC candidate in the by-election, Delali Kwasi Brempong, but he was not inside at the time of the incident.

The party has, therefore, directed all its polling station agents and officers to leave the various centres.
 
Speaking in an interview, Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency Chairman, Bismarck Aborbi-Aayitey said: “This incident never happened under Atta Mills, it never happened under Kufuor, it didn’t happen under Mahama. So, why is it happening under Akufo-Addo? This is the ‘all-die-be-die’ that Akufo-Addo talked about. We are pulling out and God will punish the President and the NPP”.
