Campaign Coordinator Assaulted: Alan Kyerematen Condemns Unprovoked Attack and Urges Calm

In a distressing turn of events, the campaign trail took an alarming twist for the North-East regional Campaign Coordinator, Mr. Ali Zakaria, who was brutally assaulted during the recent Super Delegates Conference. The incident prompted swift action from the presidential candidate himself, who expressed his deep concern and rallied for a peaceful response from his supporters.

Earlier today, a somber atmosphere hung over the Dr. Agarwal Eye Hospital in Accra as the presidential candidate, flanked by members of his campaign team, visited Mr. Ali Zakaria, a crucial figure in his campaign machinery. Mr. Zakaria, who had been fulfilling his role as the candidate’s agent at the Super Delegates Conference, found himself at the center of a disturbing incident in the North-East region.

The candidate was forthright in addressing the incident, denouncing the shocking display of indiscipline and inappropriate conduct that led to the assault on Mr. Zakaria. The candidate’s sentiments were clear: such acts of violence and lawlessness had no place in a democratic process and society at large. He emphasized the need for an unequivocal condemnation of such behavior, urging both his supporters and the wider public to join him in denouncing these dastardly acts.

In his call for action, the candidate appealed to his supporters to maintain composure and refrain from retaliatory measures. He recognized the potential for emotions to escalate in the wake of such an incident but underscored the importance of peaceful means in addressing grievances. By championing calm and restraint, the candidate aimed to set an example of responsible and dignified conduct.

Expressing solidarity with his campaign coordinator, the candidate also conveyed his best wishes for Mr. Ali Zakaria’s swift recovery. The bond of friendship and the shared commitment to their cause were evident as the candidate’s words carried not just the weight of leadership but also the warmth of camaraderie.

As investigations into the assault are underway, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the need to uphold the principles of democracy and respect for one another, even in the heat of political campaigns. The focus now shifts to how the campaign and its supporters respond to this incident – a test of the values they stand for and their dedication to a peaceful, inclusive political landscape.
