Ibrahim Baba Bukari, the Bono East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is currently in critical condition after being involved in a motorcycle accident while campaigning for the upcoming June 27 by-election. The incident occurred in Assin Bereku, which is situated in the Assin North District of the Central Region.
On Monday, June 11, Chairman Bukari’s motorcycle collided with a speeding vehicle, resulting in severe injuries. As a result of his critical condition, he has been transported by air ambulance from St. Francis Xavier Hospital to Accra for further medical treatment. Stephen Asamoah, the NPP constituency secretary for Assin North, expressed concerns about the possibility of foul play in the accident.
According to Asamoah, Chairman Bukari was on his way to campaign in Assin Akomfede when the accident occurred. While riding his motorcycle, he was struck by a black sedan, and the occupants of the vehicle fled the scene without offering assistance.
Party officials suspect that the accident may have been a deliberate act targeting the Bono East Regional chairman, who has been actively involved in campaigning for several weeks. Asamoah stated, “Our brother, the Bono East Regional chairman, has been campaigning with us for several weeks. However, due to the scattered nature of the towns, he requires a motorcycle for transportation. He decided to go to Assin Akomfede to campaign, but unfortunately, some individuals in a black sedan hit him and left him unattended.”
