The incident occurred as voting was underway at the venue, where 260 delegates from the region’s 11 constituencies are expected to cast their ballots to elect new regional executives.
The cause of the interruption was not immediately clear, but the development briefly unsettled the otherwise peaceful and orderly election process.
Before the disruption, seven delegates had cast their ballots, according to the latest update from the election venue.
The Electoral Commission is supervising the exercise, with 28 candidates contesting 11 executive positions. None of the positions is being contested unopposed.
The election is expected to determine the new leadership of the NPP in the Upper West Region as the party seeks to strengthen its regional structures and position itself ahead of future elections.
More details soon…
