Ashanti Region executives of the two leading political parties are still trading accusations and counter accusations despite a road map for peace drawn by the Regional Security Council. Violence has been recorded in parts of the polling stations in the region prompting an emergency meeting by stakeholders and the Regional Security Council to restore order and lasting peace. But shortly after leaving the meeting ground, the General Secretaries of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been quick in their accusations of each other. Samuel Pyne of the New Patriotic Party told Evans Mensah on Joy FM’s Top Story his agents have suffered enough of the machete attacks and will be forced to retaliate if the unprovoked attacks do not seize. He alleged the attacks were part of a plot by the regional minister and his MCEs to scuttle a smooth organisation of the biometric exercise in a region considered to be the stronghold of the NPP. He said the minister and his lieutenants organized a meeting before the biometric exercise began and it was in that meeting that the plot was hatched. Pyne chronicled a litany of what he said were unprovoked attacks on his party agents by hoodlums of the ruling party. According to him, some of the polling agents in Kaase, Suame, Akumadan were subjected to severe beating by the NDC thugs merely because they challenged the nationalities of some of the people who had come to register. He claimed to have video evidence of some of the attacks and will be ready to tender it out to the police if they so want.
