The situation unfolded when Mr. Agyapong expressed his view that Mr. Asenso-Boakye’s singing at the voting center was deemed “unprofessional.” In a quick response, police officers intervened promptly to restore calm at the center. Ralph Agyapong, a lawyer and brother of the outspoken politician, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, had been involved in the situation. The two contenders have been lightly on the neck of each other prior to the primary elections.
Lawyer Opoku Agyapong had earlier criticized his contender, claiming projects that were not initiated by him. He said, “Every single police station was started by the late Daniel Okyem Aboagye and not Asenso as he has been claiming. He has not done much to uplift the constituency.”
The rivalry between the two contenders in the primary elections has led to heated exchanges and confrontations, with each side trying to discredit the other. This has caused tension and unease in the community, prompting the intervention of law enforcement to restore peace and order.
Mr. Asenso-Boakye’s behavior at the voting center, which was criticized by Mr. Agyapong, is just one example of the ongoing feud between the two. Their public disagreements and attempts to undermine each other’s credibility have created a hostile and volatile atmosphere in the lead-up to the primary elections.
The involvement of law enforcement in the situation underscores the seriousness of the tensions between the two contenders and the potential for further conflict. The presence of police officers at the voting center was necessary to prevent the situation from escalating and to ensure that the voting process was not disrupted by the ongoing feud.
As the primary elections approach, it is essential for the local community and political leaders to work towards de-escalating the situation and fostering a sense of unity and cooperation. The focus should be on constructive dialogue and peaceful competition, rather than on personal attacks and confrontations that can only lead to further division and discord within the community.
