Eyewitnesses said the attackers arrived in a highly coordinated manner, causing panic among voters and halting the election temporarily. Security personnel were deployed swiftly to restore calm and resume voting.
Amid the chaos, former MP for Awutu Senya East, Mavis Hawa Koomson, was reportedly attacked, adding to the rising tension on the ground.
