Suhum’s deputy in the eastern region, Kwadjo Asante, denied his driver’s involvement in the clash during a funeral that left two injured.
The party’s communications manager in Lower West Akyem, Bernard Kwesi Amoani, was reportedly slashed with a cutlass on his forehead by someone believed to be Mr Asante’s driver.
But the MP, in a statement, dismissed reports that the cutlass used for the act was recovered from his car.
According to a witness, the violent attacks took place at the funeral site of the late father of one of the party’s communicators, Opare.
It was reportedly between supporters of the MP and a member of the presidential staff, Frank Asiedu Bekoe, popularly known as Protozoa.
Claims that Mr Asante neither admitted nor refused, he instead said the clash had nothing to do with the supporters of Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen and those of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
“I wish to pray that these eminent leaders of my party, the New Patriotic Party, are granted the necessary respect and dignity and are not involved in this unfortunate incident,” he warned.
Calling the incident unfortunate, he urged party supporters to remain calm, adding that the party abhors all forms of violence.
