Violence erupted in the Obuasi East constituency of the Ashanti region during the 2024 elections as electorates clashed with military officers at the Akaporiso polling station.
The confrontation began when a man, identified only as Hakiki, challenged the presence of the soldiers, who had arrived in a pickup vehicle despite earlier assurances from the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) that no military personnel would be deployed to the station.
Reports suggest that Hakiki, a Communication Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), was beaten severely during the altercation.
