Police have arrested one suspect and is on a manhunt for others in Yendi, Northern Region, for electoral-related offenses during the New Patriotic Party parliamentary primaries.
The incident reportedly commenced when a party supporter accused an officer of the Electoral Commission of using indelible ink to spoil the ballots of his preferred candidate.
This led to chaos, with NPP supporters destroying ballot papers, vandalising property, and assaulting the EC official and media personnel.
The police statement mentioned that the suspects are believed to have damaged electoral materials, and efforts are being made to apprehend and prosecute them per the law.
According to the release posted on Facebook," the police worked together with the military, in line with our established protocols, to restore law, order and security in the area", adding that no persons were injured during the disturbances.
