Hawa Koomson truns her anger on Naana Jane

Former Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Mavis Hawa Koomson, has voiced disappointment over what she sees as a lack of concern from President John Dramani Mahama and Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang following the assault she suffered during the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun on July 11, 2025.

In an interview on Asempa FM on July 16, 2025, Hawa Koomson expressed surprise that the Vice President, who is also a woman, had not contacted her after the incident.

“As we speak, not even one of them has called me (President John Dramani Mahama and Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang). I am very surprised that Vice President Naana Jane, as a woman…today, we say we have a sitting female Vice President, she has not even called to check on me. I expected better,” she stated.

According to her, only members of her party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), had shown concern, while no top government official had reached out to sympathize.

However, Madam Koomson noted that the Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, had contacted her to assure her of a thorough investigation.

“He called and told me that they are taking the matter seriously. He said he has instructed the regional police commander to investigate thoroughly and bring those behind the attack to book,” she revealed.

Hawa Koomson was attacked at the St. Peter’s Methodist Church polling station in Odorkor during the rerun.

Video footage from the scene showed her being pushed to the ground as she attempted to defend herself with pepper spray after assailants overpowered the security officers.
