Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has paid a visit to the former Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mavis Hawa Koomson, following a violent incident during the Ablekuma North election rerun on Friday, July 11.

The visit comes in the wake of a brutal assault on Madam Koomson at the St. Peter’s Society Methodist Church, where the rerun of elections in 19 polling stations was underway. The incident also left two journalists injured.

In a Facebook post after the visit, Hawa Koomson expressed her appreciation for the show of solidarity.

“This morning, H. E. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his team visited me at my residence to check on my health after I was brutally assaulted by thugs during the Ablekuma North rerun,” she wrote, adding, “My family and I are extremely grateful for this thoughtful gesture.”

The former Vice President was accompanied by the former Member of Parliament for Suame, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, Sammi Awuku, and the NPP’s 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for Adentan, Akosua Manu.
