A tragic shooting incident at Nyankpala in the Tolong Constituency has left one person dead and two others injured during the ongoing general elections on Saturday in Ghana.
Reports suggest the violence involved an exchange of gunfire between supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Eyewitness accounts indicate that one individual was found dead at the scene, while two others, who sustained gunshot wounds, were rushed to the hospital.
Details about the events leading to the violence remain unclear as tensions at the scene made it difficult to gather comprehensive information.
The atmosphere was described as highly charged, with onlookers hesitant to provide information due to the heavy presence of military and police personnel deployed to restore order.
Witnesses reported seeing two individuals lying in pools of blood, with the third victim already presumed dead upon the arrival of emergency responders.
Security forces are yet to provide an official statement on the incident, and the specific cause of the clash remains unknown.
Authorities continue to maintain a strong presence in the area to ensure peace as voting progresses across the constituency.
