YEN.com.gh understands that they sought to use the opportunity to call for her removal from office.
This, they explained, is because the MCE has failed to live up to expectations, and has also brought divisions into the party in the area.
It didn’t take long for another group of men to show up, and this led to a hot exchange between the two parties.
The leader of the CNM, Benjamin Kedeke, claimed that the party is losing its vibrancy in the area because the MCE has neglected them, adding that her removal will bring them some relief and bring hope to the party again.
But before they could make their grievances known to the press, her loyalists stormed the venue to disrupt the meeting, resulting in a free-for-all fight.
It took the intervention of security personnel to restore calm to the venue for the event.
