NDC member sustains cutlass wounds as limited voters’ registration turns bloody at Agona West
The organiser for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Agona West constituency, Sam Toys, has been accused of inflicting cutlass wounds on a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the ongoing limited voters’ registration exercise.
The victim, who is a member of the NDC communication team, is reportedly in critical condition due to the chaos that erupted between NDC and NPP at the Agona West office of the Electoral Commission in the Central Region.
In a conversation with Adom News, NDC’s Deputy Organizer in the constituency, Samuel Ametepey, who supposedly witnessed the incident, expressed his disappointment.
He further blamed the EC for the chaos, adding that his party will not back down until the registration process concludes.
Meanwhile, Agona West NPP Communication Director, Isaac Somuah has denied the allegations being levelled against his Organiser.
“Toys did not hit the victim’s head with GoTa. Zion’s account is false, he was not present… It was a fight between the two people and they both crashed into a car’s bonnet. That is how come his head hit something and resulted in the wound,” he said.
“Toys also fell from the car onto the floor and they were separated,” Mr Somuah added.
He also dispelled claims that the NPP is being backed by police to hijack the registration process.
But the constituency’s NDC communication officer, Wahab Mukaila told pressmen that his party is ready to defend itself if the police will not protect them.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
