The deceased, identified as Kofi Nti, was travelling in a Nissan Navara 4×4 pickup with registration number GT 2639-24 alongside three others en route to Oda Nkwanta to help address controversies surrounding the ongoing New Patriotic Party polling station elections.
The vehicle was reportedly involved in a head-on collision. Kofi Nti is said to have died instantly, while the three other occupants sustained severe injuries and are currently receiving treatment at the hospital.
