In a Facebook post, Madam Koomson expressed gratitude for the gesture, stating:
“This morning, H.E. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his team visited me at home to check on my condition after I was brutally assaulted by thugs during the Ablekuma North rerun. My family and I are deeply thankful for this kind and thoughtful visit.”
Dr. Bawumia was joined by prominent party figures including former Suame MP Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Akuapem North MP Sammi Awuku, and Adentan NPP Parliamentary Candidate Akosua Manu.
The visit was widely seen as a show of solidarity and concern for party members affected by political violence.
