Oliver Barker-Vormawor demands broader state support for party primaries

Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile programme on Saturday, August 1, Mr Barker-Vormawor maintained that, although the new electoral system may not completely eradicate the influence of money in politics, it represents a significant step towards creating a more inclusive and democratic political process.

Constitutional Rights and Policy Strategy Advisor at Democracy Hub, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has welcomed the Supreme Court's landmark decision mandating that all registered members in good standing of political parties be allowed to vote in the election of their leaders and candidates.

Mr Barker-Vormawor argued that rather than focusing solely on the increased financial burden that could accompany the "one member, one vote" system, Ghana should engage in a broader policy discussion about how democratic processes ought to be funded.
