Vote buying remains a concern among Volta voters ahead of JoyNews Democracy Is Not For Sale Forum

A pre-forum survey conducted by JoyNews ahead of its Volta Regional edition of the Democracy Is Not For Sale Forum has revealed growing concerns among voters about the continued presence of vote buying and illicit political financing in Ghana’s electoral process.

Governance and communication analyst Dr Harrison Kofi Belley, who is also a lecturer at Ho Technical University and Volta Regional Chairman of the Ghana Journalists Association, will speak on the impact of illicit political financing on democratic institutions.

The Democracy Is Not For Sale Forum, organised by the JoyNews Impact Makers Foundation, seeks to bring citizens, political actors and stakeholders together to discuss the impact of illicit political financing and explore ways to safeguard Ghana’s democratic process.
