The Ghana Police Service is investigating a shooting incident that disrupted a political rally in the Agona West Constituency on the evening of October 27, 2024.
The incident, which is alleged to be an assassination attempt on Independent candidate Cynthia Mamle Morrison, occurred around 7:40 pm during a power outage, adding to the chaos.
According to reports an unidentified gunman targeted Cynthia Morrison but fortunately missed her, striking another individual instead.
Police reports confirmed that four people sustained injuries, with two treated and discharged, while the other two remain hospitalized.
According to some of the eyewitnesses, there was a clash between NPP PC supporters and Cynthia Morrison supporters.
The report says that Cynthia Morrison was addressing the gathering while standing in her car when some supporters of the NPP drove to the gathering, resulting in a clash.
This incident comes amidst Cynthia Morrison’s contentious independent parliamentary bid for the Agona West Constituency seat, which she previously won on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2016 and 2020.
However, she lost the NPP primary to Christopher Arthur in April 2024, prompting her to run independently.
