We wish to condemn in the strongest terms the violent attack on the NPP campaign office in

Violence and intimidation have no place in our society, and those responsible for this cowardly attack must be brought to justice. Our Municipality thrives on the principles of mutual respect, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence, and any attempt to undermine these principles will be met with the full force of the law.

The Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly wishes to express our deepest sympathies to the affected persons, party executives, and sympathizers of the NPP who sustained various degrees of injuries during the attack.

We are working closely with the law enforcement agencies to investigate this matter thoroughly and to provide the necessary security measures to prevent any recurrence of such incidents.

We wish to urge all residents of our Municipality to remain calm, eschew all acts of violence, and engage in constructive dialogue to promote a culture of tolerance and respect. Political aggression would have no place in the Ayawaso West Municipality again, and we remain committed to working closely with the security services to ensure a violence-free Municipality.
