Tension is running high within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Twifo Atimorkwa Constituency of the Central Region following a violent clash between Constituency Organizer Kwadwo Debrah and Polling Station Secretary Frank Kwaku Baah.
The altercation turned bloody when Kwadwo Debrah bit off Frank Kwaku Baah’s finger, leading to his hospitalization at Twifo Praso Government Hospital due to severe bleeding.
The incident occurred during a meeting with the party’s national leadership, who were investigating the NPP’s overwhelming defeat in the 2024 general election. The committee aimed to identify factors contributing to the loss and recommend strategies for rebuilding the party.
According to Frank Baah, during the meeting, some polling station executives criticized the constituency executives for the party’s defeat. Kwadwo Debrah, the constituency organizer, reportedly became unhappy with some of the comments and, without provocation, attacked Baah—slapping him from behind before ultimately biting off his finger.
Baah has called for justice, stating that he has been left maimed. “I’m still in shock and pain,” he said in an interview. “I demand justice for this heinous act. The party must take action against Debrah and ensure that he faces the consequences of his actions.”
The case has been reported to the Twifo Atimorkwa District Police Command for further investigation, but no arrests have been made yet. The police have promised a thorough probe to bring the perpetrator to justice.
The incident has sparked outrage within the party, with many calling for Debrah’s immediate suspension and expulsion.
Meanwhile, the party’s national leadership is yet to publicly comment on the matter.
