A member of the governing National Democratic Congress, Nana Yaw Darko, narrowly escaped stab wounds after a fellow party member attacked him with a knife. 

Nana Arkoo Frimpong, an agent of one of the parliamentary aspirants, Mr Basil Ahiable, was involved in a heated argument with Yaw Darko.

Joy News' Haruna Wumpini reported that an enraged Frimpong pulled out a knife and chased Darko but other party members present at the Akwatia Lorry Park Polling Station overpowered him and seized the knife.

A vehicle came to whisk the attacker away.

Earlier, confusion erupted at the Yoruba Mosque polling station over the indelible ink that electoral officers were to use to mark voters to indicate they have voted.

Some voters who spoke to Joy News claimed the ink provided by the Electoral Commission had expired.

They also said it was a calculated plan by the EC to disenfranchise them.

The presiding officer denied this. Mr. Owusu Nyarko said it is not their fault because they were unaware the ink was going to give them problems.

He urged the voters to be calm while they send for new indelible inks from Kade.

The parliamentary primary which should have been held in November 2015 was postponed for security reasons. The seat is held by the NDC firebrand, Baba Jamal who is being challenged by a businessman, Mr Basil Ahiable.
