At least seven people were killed, with opposition figures claiming that the victims were shot inside the house and surrounding areas. The politician involved said that armed personnel broke into the residence and began shooting, causing panic and chaos among people present.

Authorities gave a different account, suggesting that the violence was linked to clashes between security forces and groups allegedly attacking or resisting police operations in the area. However, opposition members insist that those killed were unarmed supporters who had gathered peacefully after voting ended.

The incident occurred amid a highly charged election environment marked by accusations of intimidation, heavy security deployment, and political tension between the ruling party and opposition groups. Reports indicate that similar episodes of violence were recorded in other parts of the country during the same election period.

Human rights observers and international media have raised concerns about the use of excessive force and the safety of civilians during election-related operations. Investigations into the exact circumstances of the killings have been called for by various groups.
