Delegates of the New Patriotic Party in the Bono East Region face accusations of receiving money. Some parliamentary hopefuls allegedly paid GH₵500 to each delegate.
These allegations surfaced during the party's ongoing internal election process. The elections aim to select parliamentary candidates.
Witnesses claim the payments were made to influence how delegates cast their votes. The amounts were reportedly given to secure support.
The New Patriotic Party's election committee has been informed of the accusations. An investigation is expected to follow.
Vote buying is against the rules of most political parties. It undermines fair representation and democratic processes.
Officials are reviewing the evidence presented. Further actions will depend on the investigation's findings.
The outcome of these elections will determine who represents the party in future general elections.
