According to reports, some NPP supporters at the rally intermittently fired toy guns, creating loud noises that caused discomfort for the MP and others present.
The situation escalated when a group of disgruntled youth confronted Dr. Amoah, demanding answers regarding the status of an astro-turf project in the constituency.
Tensions heightened as some of the youth allegedly fired toy guns in close proximity to the MP, leaving him unsettled. Fearing a potential attack, Dr. Amoah reacted by pulling out his gun. While no harm was reported, the incident has drawn attention to security concerns during political events in the constituency.
The rally, intended to unify supporters ahead of the 2024 elections, has instead raised questions about public safety and accountability. The MP has not officially commented on the incident, but party executives have appealed for calm as investigations into the matter continue.
