Supreme Court ruling on delegate system can help curb ‘moneycracy’ in political parties – Dr Asah-Asante

Political analyst Dr Kwame Asah-Asante says the Supreme Court's decision to scrap the delegate system for internal political party elections could help address concerns over the growing influence of money in party politics.

Asah-Asante acknowledged concerns about the financial implications of conducting wider internal party elections but argued that the challenge could be managed through a combination of state support and contributions from political party members."I support the Supreme Court ruling because this is one of the surest ways by which we can deal with some of the excesses relative to moneycracy associated with political parties," he said.
