Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, has spoken about the cost of elections.
He believes that the high expenses involved in contesting parliamentary seats are a major cause of bribery and corruption in the country.
Mr. Nketia's comments highlight a concern about financial pressures influencing the electoral process.
He suggested that the significant financial burden on candidates may lead them to seek or offer bribes.
This situation, according to the NDC Chairman, undermines the integrity of elections.
He implied that the current system makes it difficult for honest individuals to participate.
The National Democratic Congress has not yet proposed specific solutions to address this issue.
Further details on how this impacts Ghanaian politics were not provided.
