The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Akweley Ocloo, has dismissed claims of vote-buying in the ongoing election rerun at Ablekuma North, justifying the provision of transport support to party members as a necessary and legitimate act to facilitate their participation.

In an interview on JoyNews and monitored by GhanaWeb on Friday, July 11, 2025, she stated, "Every election, there's vote buying.

So, if we are buying votes, they should also buy their votes....

we have members who traveled all the way from Kumasi, and they have to come and vote.
