Some gunmen, alleged to be members of the Invincible and Delta Forces, shot at sympathisers of the NDC who were readying to cast their ballots at the various polling stations.
The Constituency Chairman of the NDC, Bismarck Aborbi-Ayitey, said the party has pulled out of the ongoing by-election over the violence.
The macho men, numbering about 200, got furious when some voters started taking pictures of them and videoing them.
