General News of Wednesday, 18 March 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comSome members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) reportedly clashed with the leadership of the Minority Caucus in the Ahafo Ano North District of the Ashanti Region over a planned engagement with cocoa farmers. According to a myjoyonline report on March 18, 2026, the incident occurred on March 17 after the Minority had gone to the area to meet with farmers. Tensions arose when local NDC officials scheduled a parallel meeting with the same group of farmers at the durbar grounds at Bonkrom, creating a clash over venue and timing. Some cocoa farmers expressed concern over what they described as an attempt to disrupt their engagement with the MPs. Another farmer, Dapaah Eric, noted that although the Minority had secured the venue in advance, some NDC members still attempted to use the same location and later considered holding their event nearby.
