Supreme Court ruling may escalate campaign costs, monetisation – Prof.  Seidu warns 

Professor Alidu Mahama Seidu, the Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, has cautioned that the Supreme Court’s (SC) ruling abolishing the delegate system of voting within political parties could significantly increase the cost and monetisation of political campaigns.

He explained that the implementation of the ruling would “double, triple and quadruple” the expenses involved in campaigning for internal party positions and against opponents from other political parties.

The ruling is expected to reshape the organisation of political parties and the conduct of future presidential, parliamentary and executive primaries.
