The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is mourning the loss of Yahya, the polling station chairman for Ninkyiso in Assin Breku, who died following a fatal motorbike accident on Friday, November 14.
The accident occurred while he was attending a campaign event for the party’s flagbearer hopeful, Bryan Acheampong.
Yahya was riding a motorbike with the constituency’s Nasara coordinator, Vilinke Mohammed, when a speeding motorbike reportedly collided with theirs. All three riders were rushed to St. Francis Xavier Hospital in Assin Fosu for emergency care.
Tragically, Yahya succumbed to his injuries on Sunday, November 16. Vilinke Mohammed remains in critical condition with a life-threatening head injury. A third person, Kwaku Mensah, traveling from Manso to Assin Adiembra for a funeral, also sustained serious injuries and is receiving treatment at the same hospital.
Speaking on the incident, NPP Constituency Organiser Collins Egyiri said, “I was informed about the accident while preparations were ongoing for Mr. Bryan Acheampong’s visit to meet delegates today. Our national coordinator is seriously injured, and the brother who is the polling station chairman at Ejisu was also involved.”
The party has expressed condolences to the families of the victims and called for prayers for the recovery of those still hospitalized.
