It will be recalled that prior to the 7 December 2016 elections, there were similar clashes between supporters of the two parties.

The two parties condemned those clashes, with the police vowing to arrest those involved.

But it appears that the conflicts between the two are far from over, as the two parties clashed again on Monday.

Baba Musah, a member of the NDC who claimed he was also attacked during the incident has accused the retained MP, Opare Ansah, of allegedly masterminding the attacks.

But a member of the communications team of the NPP in Suhum, Opare Albert, has denied the allegations.

He told Accra FM that it was rather the youth of the NDC who carried out an attack in a nearby village, resulting in a reprisal attack from the youth of the village.

The police in the region have since launched investigations into the attacks.
