A violent clash has erupted within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Twifo Atti-Mortwa Constituency in the Central Region after Constituency Youth Organizer, Kwadwo Debrah, also known as "Last Two," brutally attacked the party's Polling Station Secretary, Frank Kwaku Baah.
The altercation turned bloody when Debrah bit off Baah's finger, leading to his hospitalization at the Twifo Praso Government Hospital due to severe bleeding.
The incident occurred during a meeting with the national leadership, who were investigating the party's overwhelming defeat in the 2024 general election.
The committee aimed to identify factors contributing to the loss and recommend strategies for rebuilding the party.
According to Baah, some polling station executives criticized the constituency executives for the defeat during the meeting.
Debrah, unhappy with the comments, attacked Baah without provocation, slapping him from behind and ultimately biting off his finger.
Baah has called for justice, stating he's been left maimed. "I'm still in shock and pain," he said in an interview.
"I demand justice for this heinous act. The party must take action against Debrah and ensure that he faces the consequences of his actions."
The case has been reported to the Twifo Atti-Mortwa District Police Command for further investigation, but no arrests have been made yet.
The police have promised to investigate the matter thoroughly and bring the perpetrator to justice.
The incident has sparked outrage within the party, with many calling for Debrah's immediate suspension and expulsion.
The party's national leadership is yet to speak publicly about the incident.
