Four executives from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) polling stations in Ketu South Constituency have been arrested. They are accused of engaging in vote-buying activities.
The group was reportedly distributing money and various items. This was done in an alleged attempt to influence voters. The arrests were made by the Ghana Police Service.
Vote-buying is illegal and undermines the electoral process. The NPP has stated its commitment to clean elections.
Further investigation into the matter is underway. The police are gathering evidence to support the charges.
The Electoral Commission has previously warned against such practices. These actions can lead to disqualification of candidates.
The suspects are currently in police custody. Legal proceedings are expected to commence soon. This situation highlights ongoing challenges in ensuring fair elections.
