Cynthia Morrison accuses Agona West NPP of intimidation

Agona West, Ghana - October 29, 2024 - Cynthia Mamle Morrison, Member of Parliament for Agona West, has publicly accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of attempting to intimidate her after she decided to run as an independent candidate.

This accusation comes on the heels of a recent shooting incident at one of her campaign rallies, which left four individuals injured, including Rasheed Haruna, the Nasara Coordinator for the constituency, and Chris Arthur's Campaign Chairman, who was shot in the ribs.

Allegations and Denials

Chris Arthur, the NPP parliamentary candidate for Agona West, pointed fingers at Morrison, suggesting she was involved in the shooting. However, Morrison vehemently denied these allegations in an interview on Citi FM's Eyewitness News, calling them unfounded attempts to intimidate her. "This thing has never happened here, but I know because of my independence they want to intimidate me, but that will not work... they think I am here to spoil their votes but they don't know I am here to win," she declared.

Police Investigation Underway

The Ghana Police Service has issued a statement, assuring the public of its commitment to conducting a thorough investigation into the shooting incident and bringing the perpetrators to justice as the election season unfolds. With tensions running high, the police statement provides some reassurance that the incident will be taken seriously and investigated promptly.
