Former Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Mavis Hawa Koomson, has rejected claims that she was responsible for the violence that erupted during the parliamentary rerun election in the Ablekuma North constituency.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, the former Fisheries Minister said she is not a violent person and would never endanger lives.
“I have children and brothers. Why would I want to harm someone’s child? I won’t allow anyone to kill, and I certainly won’t do it myself,” she said.
Her comments come in the wake of last Friday’s violent incident at St. Peter’s Methodist Church polling station, where the rerun took place across 19 polling stations following disputed results from the December 2024 elections.
According to reports, the violence broke out when unknown individuals overpowered police officers at the polling centre.
Viral videos from the scene captured the moment Hawa Koomson used pepper spray to defend herself as a crowd advanced toward her.
Responding to the incident, she said she was shocked by the attack and had no intention of causing confusion.
