ACEPA, a public interest group, has thrown its support behind a plan to amend the Criminal Offences Act. This proposal comes from Speaker Bagbin.
The amendment is intended to create specific rules governing the conduct of politicians. These rules would apply during political party primary elections.
ACEPA believes this legislative change is crucial for improving the integrity of internal party polls.
The group stated that clearer regulations are needed to prevent misconduct. This will help ensure that primary elections are conducted fairly and transparently.
This initiative aims to bring more order to the political process. It focuses on the behavior of candidates and party leaders.
By regulating conduct during primaries, the proposed law seeks to uphold democratic principles within political parties.
ACEPA's endorsement signals a growing call for accountability in political party activities.
The proposed amendment is now under consideration as part of efforts to strengthen Ghana's electoral framework.
