Some supporters of the Parliamentary candidates of both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Wulensi constituency in the Northern Region clashed over the weekend at a village called Garikpe in the constituency.
The two candidates, the NPP’s Thomas Donkor Ogaaja and George Larrir Maabam accused each other of instigating the violence.
The attack, according to Mr. Ogaaja, was triggered by an earlier one on the NDC’s campaign van carrying the public address system.
Mr. Ogaaja said some persons at Ngambo attacked the NDC’s campaign van and destroyed some computers and amplifiers used for campaigns.
He however denied suggestions that persons who launched the attack were supporters of NPP.
Mr. Ogaaja was optimistic persons who launched the attack were rather disgruntled NDC members who had issues with the incumbent Member of Parliament.

The incident follows a similar one that occured at the residence of Nana Akufo-Addo, flagbearer of the NPP.
Members of the two political parties clashed on Sunday morning during a health walk.
The Police had a hard time controlling the charged crowd, some of whom reportedly hauled stones into the residence of the opposition leader.
