Dr Appiah-Kusi was said to have been assaulted by the yet to be identified young men at a funeral ground held for an NPP member at Trede in the constituency believed to be members of his own party.

The aggrieved supporters of the party’s Constituency Secretary Prince Karikari who has been denied an opportunity to be nominated District Chief Executive (DCE) for the area accosted the legislator and gave him punches on the face landing the honourable member on floor.

According to eyewitnesses, the youth came from nowhere and to the surprise of the other mourners at the funeral ground literally striped the MP but for the swift intervention of some opinion leaders.

The crime of the MP is that some persons accused him of working against the nomination of Prince Karikari who also showed interest in the District Chief Executive (DCE) position in the area.
