Ex-President John Mahama condemned unrest at the offices of the National Democratic Congress (NCD) in Kumasi.
In an article published on Facebook Monday, the standard bearer hoped: "It is clearly a criminal act and I call the police and the relevant security agencies to investigate, to immediately stop the guilty and subject them to all the rigors of the law. "
His comments follow a shootout at the party's office in the Ashanti regional capital, which resulted in the death of one person.
According to an eyewitness, the badailant, badociated with an NDC militia, the Hawks, allegedly shot at the NDC man three times during an altercation.
"He shot him first in the leg while he was running and twice in the chest at close range while he was lying vulnerable," said the witness.
Erastus Donkor Asare, of Luv FM, said that another man had been shot dead, but that he had survived and that he was currently undergoing treatment at the Komfo Anokye University Hospital ( KATH).
A statement from the party confirmed the shooting and death.
"The regrettable incident occurred while a meeting between the National President, the Secretary General, an Assistant Secretary General and the Regional Executive Committee was underway," the statement said.
But, unlike eyewitness accounts, the statement said "men armed with motorcycle guns attacked a rally outside, being short and indiscriminate".
Shortly after the release of the statement, a witness who spoke to Joy News earlier did not want to talk anymore, citing an embargo on the part of the party.
Police investigate the episode.
