Ejisu by-election: Ahiagbah denies evidence of NPP engaging in vote-buying

The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has refuted claims that the party is buying votes with state resources.

This comes after the campaign coordinator for a former NPP Member of Parliament for Ejisu, Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, who is now contesting the by-election as an independent candidate, stated that the NPP is hatching plans to win the Ejisu by-election through dubious means.

The elections are on Tuesday and they are saying that we are buying votes today.

“I mean, that is insulting to the good people of Ejisu for him to say so

His own hometown, his own people that he is accusing in this manner, that there are people up for sale in order to choose their representatives.”

Mr Ahiagbah argued that the campaign coordinator for Mr Aduomi should provide evidence of the people collecting money to vote for the NPP.

He emphasised that Mr Boafo cannot make such allegations about the people he wishes to represent.
