An aspirant in the Effiduase Asokore parliamentary primary of the New Patriotic Party, Lawyer Adom Appiah, has been assaulted by some military personnel deployed to the area to provide security.
Mr Appiah who is seeking to unseat the incumbent MP, Nana Ayew Afriye, had approached Electoral Commission officials at the Effiduase South polling station to know the register being used for the Saturday polls.
The EC officials ignored him, a situation that triggered argument between him and the EC officials causing the military personnel at the polling station to give him three slaps.
“He was slapped three times and but for his car, he would have fallen down,” our correspondent, reported.
Mr Appiah was then dragged behind the polling station which is near a Police station where he was said to have also been gun butted, leaving him with bleeding lips.
He has since reported the incident to the police for investigations into the matter.
