were hurled at speakers, including party stalwart, Dr Roger Luncheon. Up to press time, no one was reportedly injured.
The move is being widely criticised, given that it occurred on the same day that political parties inked a Code of Conduct aimed at guiding the manner in which campaigning is conducted. The act, labelled as another move to intimidate PPP/C supporters, follows similar acts, including the destruction of PPP/C campaign paraphernalia and the stoning of the home of a PPP/C supporter in Linden, Region 10.
Prior to last evening’s chaos, the ruling party had registered its concerns with related authorities.
