Vice presidential hopeful Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says the acid attack on Upper East regional chairman is “really an attack on the NPP”.

The party has been thrown into shock and mourning after the death of Adams Mahama who suffered an acid attack midnight Wednesday.

He died Thursday morning while doctors tried stabilizing him for onward transfer to Accra for further treatment.

The Homicide unit of the Ghana Police Service has been dispatched to the region for investigations and an autopsy is underway to determine the cause of death.

The NPP leaders are grappling with the news and bracing for what may appear to be another round of internal party wranglings, accusations and counter-accusations.

The New Patriotic Party is appealing for calm amongst its rank and file as police launch a nationwide man hunt for a man suspected to have conspired with another to pour acid on the party’s Upper East Chairman.

The flagbearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo has cut short a trip in Europe to return to the country.

He said the tragic death of the party’s Upper East Regional chairman breaks his heart.

“I am heartbroken, we knew each other for a very long time. He is a very good friend of mine and was a very strong aide to the late vice president Alhaji Aliu Mahama,

Messages of grief and solidarity have been pouring in from other parties and leading political personalities.
