The police, armed and numbering around 15, claimed they had received instructions to halt the proceedings, citing concerns that the elections were being held without the necessary sanction from the National Executives in Accra.
According to Goddea Asiedu Abourden, the outgoing Ashanti regional organizing secretary, the police asserted that the gathering was illegal and had not been approved by the national leadership.
