Agona West NPP Constituency Nasara Coordinator, Haruna Rashid, is in critical condition after being shot during a campaign clash in Agona Nyarkrom, Central Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred around 9 p.m. while Rashid was traveling with the convoy of Agona West NPP Parliamentary Candidate, Chris Arthur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three other individuals were injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police sources, supporters of Chris Arthur and Cynthia Morrison, a rival candidate, encountered each other while campaigning in the same area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tensions reportedly escalated when Mr Arthur\u2019s convoy encountered a roadblock allegedly set up by Ms Morrison\u2019s supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the convoy attempted to turn away, shots were fired, and Rashid, who also serves as Mr Arthur\u2019s campaign manager, was struck in the ribs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Arthur recounted the incident, explaining that as they neared the Nyarkrom Township, they encountered the blockage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe decided to change direction, but it was too late,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Arthur described how unidentified individuals first poured alcohol on their driver, causing him to lose control before two men approached and shot Rashid.
Rashid was initially rushed to the Agona Swedru Municipal Hospital and has since been transferred to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for further treatment due to the severity of his injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agona West NPP Constituency Chairman, Alhaji Jibri Tanko, has condemned the violence, warning all supporters to avoid intimidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will not allow anyone to intimidate us in this election,\u201d he stated firmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, two supporters from Cynthia Morrison\u2019s camp were also injured by gunfire and are receiving treatment at the Agona Nyarkrom Health Center as investigations continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
