Assin South Delegates Attack Bryan Acheampong’s Coordinator Over ¢200 Deduction
Tension reportedly erupted in the Assin South Constituency after some delegates allegedly attacked a coordinator for Bryan Acheampong, following claims that ¢200 was deducted from money meant for delegates.
The incident happened when delegates who were expecting their full amount became angry after noticing that the amount given to them was short by ¢200. The disagreement quickly escalated into a heated confrontation, leading to an alleged physical attack on the coordinator.
Eyewitnesses say the situation became chaotic as the delegates demanded an explanation for the deduction, accusing the coordinator of being responsible for the missing money. The anger was reportedly fueled by suspicion and frustration, with some delegates insisting that they deserved the exact amount promised to them.
The coordinator, who was said to be moving around the constituency to organize and mobilize support for Bryan Acheampong, was allegedly assaulted in the process. Residents and party supporters who witnessed the incident attempted to calm the situation, but the tension remained high for some time.
The incident has sparked fresh conversations within political circles about the growing concerns of delegate welfare, internal party discipline, and how political campaigns manage financial support for grassroots members.
As of the time of filing this report, it is unclear whether the matter has been officially reported to the police, or whether party executives in the constituency have taken steps to investigate and address the issue.
Many party faithful are calling for calm, urging supporters to resolve misunderstandings through dialogue rather than violence, especially as the party prepares for crucial internal activities ahead of the 2028 general elections.
