📍 Asante Akyem Akutuase, Ashanti Region, Ghana • by Eddie • Jun 01, 2026
A heated confrontation reportedly occurred at Asante Akyem Akutuase in the Ashanti Region after a supporter of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) challenged a young waste collector over his choice of clothing.
According to reports, the young man was carrying out his routine refuse collection duties, commonly referred to as "borla work," while wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan "It Is Possible," a phrase closely associated with the NPP's 2024 presidential candidate, Mahamudu Bawumia.
In a video circulating online, an angry party supporter is seen and heard ordering the young man to remove the shirt immediately. The supporter argued that wearing a party-branded campaign shirt while performing waste collection work was damaging the image of the political party and its slogan.
The supporter allegedly insisted that the attire should not be worn for such work, claiming it portrayed the party in a negative light. The exchange drew the attention of bystanders, with some observing the disagreement as it unfolded.
The incident has since generated discussion on social media, with many people debating whether the nature of one's occupation should determine the appropriateness of wearing political party apparel.
No reports of physical violence or police involvement have emerged in connection with the incident.
