The Presidential candidate of the All People's Congress (APC), , has bemoaned how expensive political party campaigning has become in Ghana, describing the situation as worrying. According to him, the two major political parties-the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are to blame for the expensive nature of political campaigning. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Etsey Atisu on GhanaWeb TV on Election Desk, disclosed that a political leader would require not less than a whopping GH₵100,000 to fund campaign activity for just one day.
"Campaign is very extensive, and it has not been easy going round. The two major political parties have monetized political campaigns, and because of that, any leader who would have to go out and campaign in a day must be looking at between GH₵100,000 and GH₵300,000 to spend in a day. You will need a minimum of, say, 1,000 to 2,000 t-shirts to move.
