Supreme Court’s ‘one member, one vote’ ruling reflects vote-buying concerns – Mary Addah
Executive Director of Transparency International Ghana, Mary Awelana Addah, has said the Supreme Court's landmark decision mandating a "one member, one vote" system for political party elections reflects the realities of vote-buying that have long characterised Ghana's internal party politics.
The judgment effectively ends the long-standing delegate system employed by Ghana's major political parties, replacing it with a broader "one member, one vote" model that is expected to reshape internal party democracy.
Commenting on one of the key arguments underpinning the debate, Ms Addah rejected suggestions that vote-buying in political party elections is merely speculative.
