The NPP chairman in the Savannah region has accused the NDC of vote buying at their just ended presidential and parliamentary primaries held on Saturday, 13th May, 2023.
In a facebook post by the savannah regional chairman of the NPP Alhaji Iddrisu Sulemana, the chairman said the level of ostentation showcased during the NDC primaries has never happened in the body politics since the creation of the Savannah Region by His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo and therefore said it is imperative for the good people of the Region to inquire from the NDC where the aspirants got the money and the goodies they fluented all over the place to entice their gullible delegates if indeed they have been saying there is economic hardships in the country as they have fruitlessly failed to hoodwink them into believing.
Read below the statement of the NPP chairman as shared on his Facebook wall.
The unprecedented opulence on display at the NDC’s presidential and parliamentary elections in savannah region.
The New Patriotic Party in the Savannah Region has observed with utter shock, the opulence and vote-buying displayed at the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s presidential and Parliamentary primaries across the Region on Saturday, May 13, 2023.
Amidst the burgeoning propaganda and claims of economic hardships in the country by the message-less and uninspiring NDC, the party exposed its hypocrisy by splashing cash and sorts of goodies on aà in an attempt to win their votes.
The level of ostentation showcased during this NDC primaries has never happened before in our body politics since the creation of the Savannah Region by His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo.
It is therefore imperative for the good people of the Region to inquire from the NDC where the aspirants got the money and the goodies they fluented all over the place to entice their gullible delegates if indeed they have been saying there is economic hardships in the country as they have fruitlessly failed to hoodwink us into believing.
The situation in Damongo, Bole-Bamboi, and Salaga South was so pervasive that delegates were seen madly rushing for cash and other goodies during the party’s primaries.
Even more condemnable were reports of how the supposed flagbearer elect of their party dished out forty-ghana cedis to each delegate across the country.
With the exception of the Yapei-Kusawgu constituency where the incumbent MP went unapposed, the remaining constituencies where the primaries were held were riddled with excessive vote-buying
This is unhealthy for our Democracy and as a political party that believes in the tenets of Democracy, it is a great worry for us.
This canker, if not nibbed in the bud, can instigate monecracy into our body politics, regrettably paving the way for criminals with tainted money to rise to the helms of political office.
The level of opulence shown at the primaries was terrifyingly shocking and invariably posing danger because it has the tendency to jeopardize Ghana’s Democracy by way of producing dishonest politicians
The New Patriotic Party in the Savannah Region, under my leadership as the Regional Chairman, wishes to categorically condemn this hypocrisy by NDC and urge the good people the Savannah Region to be careful of them.
In conclusion, we wish to call on our anti-corruption agencies, especially the Office of the Special Prosecutor, to probe the opulence and vote-buying which were on display in the just-ended presidential and parliamentary primaries of the NDC held in the Savannah Region.
