The Member of Parliament (MP) for New Juaben South, Michael Okyere Baafi, has alleged that the ruling (NDC) used money to secure victory in the Akwatia by-election.
Speaking in an interview on AsaasePa FM on September 2, 2025, Okyere Baafi claimed that nearly every voter in the constituency received between GH¢ 500 and GH¢ 1,000 from the NDC.
He expressed disappointment over the outcome, stating that the (NPP) had been confident of winning the poll due to their extensive campaign efforts. "We did all the work and campaigning, and we were confident of winning the election.
But the NDC's strategy was to buy votes.
