[Video] Chaos Erupts at Odorkor Methodist as NPP Deputy Organizer Chris Lloyd Blocked from Entering Polling Station
Tensions escalated sharply at the Odorkor Methodist polling station in the Ablekuma North constituency on Friday, July 11, 2025, after the National Deputy Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Chris Lloyd, was prevented from entering the polling station.
Eyewitnesses reported a heated standoff between security personnel and Chris Lloyd, who had attempted to gain access to the polling centre during the ongoing parliamentary rerun.
The incident caused a brief disruption at the polling station, with party supporters and some electoral observers expressing concerns about possible political intimidation and interference.
It remains unclear why Chris Lloyd was blocked from entering, but some sources indicated it may have been tied to strict security protocols being enforced due to the high-stakes nature of the rerun, which has seen heightened political tensions and earlier violent incidents at other polling centres.
The rerun itself has been marked by intense rivalry between the NPP and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), with both sides vying for control of the parliamentary seat, which has been vacant since December 2024.
Voting is still ongoing at the Odorkor Methodist polling station despite the earlier chaos.
There has been no immediate response from the Electoral Commission or the Ghana Police Service regarding the incident.
