Richard Jakpa assaulted while on ballot printing supervision exercise

In a troubling incident late last night, Richard Jakpa, a ballot printing supervisor for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), was physically assaulted by an alleged supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) while performing his lawful duties at Innolink.

The former military officer's assault has been officially reported to the Kaneshie Police Station, where authorities are currently awaiting a statement from the NPP suspect involved in the attack.

In light of the situation, the NDC through its Director of Elections and IT Dr Edward Omane Boamah said the party is expecting Innolink to provide CCTV footage of the incident to aid in the investigation.

The NDC has called for the Ghana Police Service to take swift action and ensure that the individual responsible for this assault is brought to justice.

According to the NDC, this incident raises serious concerns about the safety of individuals carrying out their civic responsibilities in the lead-up to the upcoming elections.
