In a recent statement, Peter Mac Manu, the former national chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), raised concerns about the current delegate system, suggesting it could be a major factor in the party's future electoral performance.
His comments shed light on a growing disconnect between party delegates and ordinary voters, which could potentially undermine the unity and cohesion needed for a strong showing in upcoming elections.
Mac Manu highlighted the controversial practice of distributing money to polling station executives, who serve as delegates in the election of presidential and parliamentary candidates. "The polling station executives who constitute the delegates to elect a presidential and parliamentary candidate were giving money," he said.
This distribution of funds, according to Mac Manu, has a ripple effect on the broader voter base.
