The Deputy National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Chris Lloyd Nii Kwei, has made a staggering revelation about how the party’s former Greater Accra Regional Director of Research saved his life during the Ablekuma North Constituency parliamentary election re-run.
According to Chris Lloyd, Emmanuel Nii Clottey came to his rescue when thugs, allegedly affiliated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC), pounced on him at the St Peter’s Methodist Church Polling Station.
The incident occurred during the parliamentary rerun in some 19 polling stations when chaos broke out after a group of individuals stormed the polling station, attacking several NPP members, including Chris Lloyd.
Several videos circulating on social media showed Chris Lloyd being mercilessly beaten by individuals alleged to be affiliated with the NDC.
The assault forced an immediate halt to the voting process and caused panic among voters.
In the footage, Chris Lloyd was seen attempting to flee but was overpowered, pushed to the ground, and subjected to repeated physical assault.
Speaking after a courtesy call on him, Chris Lloyd said he is alive today because of Emmanuel Nii Clottey’s intervention.
“When everyone was afraid to come close, Emmanuel Nii Clottey stood up to ward off these thugs and risked it all. Not everyone will do this, and for that, I say thank you, and God bless you, my brother,” he shared.
Emmanuel Nii Clottey, who has declared his intent to contest for the NPP Greater Accra Regional Secretary position, said he simply responded to a brother in danger.
“The situation was bad and someone needed to help. Chris is my brother, and I couldn’t watch those hooligans harm him. So, I had to intervene — and I did so rightly,” he said.
Chris Lloyd Nii Kwei, who is currently recuperating from the attack, said he was overwhelmed by the show of support.
“My brother Nii Clottey has come all the way to see how I’m doing. It tells you how much he cares — and how much the party also cares,” he added.
