Two injured in another clash at NPP HQ

Supporters of the embattled NPP National Chairman Paul Afoko have clashed with the party’s private security, Invincible Forces, over the control of the party’s headquarters.

The Forces stuck to their vow made last week to keep out the embattled Chairman and General Secretary from the party's headquarters following the death of the party’s Upper East regional chairman, Adams Mahama.

The party is in crisis with unprecedented pressure on the Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong to step aside.

Regional Chairmen, MPs, members of the NPP Council of Elders are all mounting pressure on the troubled two to step aside but they are unyielding.

In yet another incident that will further deepen the crisis in the party, the supporters of two factions emerging in the party clashed again at the party's headquarters Thursday afternoon.

The private security men, invincible forces, have not been idle in the crisis but have had their resolve tested by some youths numbering 50.

The youth who were chanting pro-Afoko slogans, tried to gain control of the office but were repelled by about 30 able-bodied men armed with horse whips, Joy News' Kwakye Afreh-Nuamah reported.

In a stone-throwing assault, the two groups exchanged missiles Thursday but the youth proved no match for the invincible forces.

Two of the pro-Afoko group were injured and the windscreen of two buses have been damaged.
