Some serial callers of the opposition NPP in the Ashanti region were engaged in a fierce free-for-all brawl at a venue for vetting of parliamentary aspirants.
The vetting was underway at the North Hotel in Kumasi when a group of supporters who claimed to be serial callers of the party stormed the venue, accusing a party chairman, Joe Nimoh Aikins, of masterminding many secret recordings of party functionaries.
Luv News’ Erastus Asare Donkor who was at the scene reports that the accusations angered another group of serial callers who attacked the chairman’s accusers.
Erastus said the two factions began throwing stones, chairs and other objects at each other creating a chaotic scene and disrupting the otherwise solemn event.
Seeing how nasty the encounter was getting, some executives of the party tried to intervene but the groups would not stop pelting objects at each other.
They eventually stopped the stone throwing but the verbal abuses continued, Asare Donkor reported
The NPP is vetting its parliamentary hopefuls across the country.
