Allan Kyerematen's Supporters In Tamale Attacked By Pro Bawumia Invisible Forces In Near Fatal Clash

Tension seem to be rising between supporters of the two league contenders for the party’s flag-bearer even before the party calls for nominations.

What started in Kumasi on sidelines of the Party"s conference in Kumasi, where pro-Dr. Mahmoud Bawumia supporters attacked and prevented  pro-Alan Kyerematen, Minister of Trade and Industry, supporters from entering the conference grounds and later caused six pro-Alan supporters to be locked up in police cells, spilled over to Tamale Wednesday afternoon. 

Feeling triumphant from the Kumasi incident, the pro-Bawumia supporters kept on taunting their opponents. 

In their bid to retaliate,  the two sides clashed leading to a free-for-all fight near an office of the pro-Bawumia forces which was damaged, an eyewitness said.

Many onlookers have expressed disappointment at the development and have called for a cessation of such "unNPP-like" behaviour, especially from those believed to have incumbency advantage. 
 
Nominations are yet to open and there is a feeling that if  not curbed immediately by the party hierarchy,  it will lead to damaging the party's enviable credibility, when the contest finally begins.
