He said at the meeting some non-executive members including the former NPP Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Mr Okerchiri Adusa, were present and he was directed by the chairman to ask the non-executive members to leave the meeting.
Mr Achamfour said in the process of asking them to leave for the meeting to start, some stoutly built members of the party including Yaw Robert, Kwasi Mireku and Yaw Wiafe pounced on him and assaulted him severely whiles the constituency chairman received some slaps.
He said that development brought the meeting to an abrupt end and he reported the matter to the police who issued him with a medical form to attend hospital.
