Former President John Mahama condemned Thursday's violence in La Bawaleshie during the West Wuogon Ayawaso's by-election.
Men dressed in black polo shirts and khaki pants stormed a polling station where the vote was going on to elect a new MP.
The men reportedly fired shots and even slapped Ningo-Prampram MP Samuel George, who appeared to be interrogating them in a video.
The NDC reacted to the violence by withdrawing from the byelection, accusing the NPP and the president of deliberately intimidating voters and their polling agents.
In a statement, police increased the number of wounded to six and dispelled rumors of deaths.
They say that the wounded respond to treatment at Legon and 37 military hospitals.
But Mahama, who blames the NPP for the violence, said the NDC could do worse, warning the ruling NPP that the opposition party would meet in turn in 2020.
John Mahama made the comments Thursday in the Volta region, as part of a campaign tour before the NDC primaries on Feb. 23.
