In a video on X shared by @eddie_wrt, the young man said he was selling his vote before the elections because, after the polls, he would not benefit from any politician until the next election year.
“This year I am selling my vote for any amount. Even if they offer me GHC10, I will take it and vote for the party. If nobody pays for my vote, I will not participate in the election process.”
“I won't vote for free because I won't gain anything if I do so. No, I’m not selling my future. The vote doesn’t determine my future. I determine my future.”

“From the video what I took note which was important to me is when he was asked that if you sell your vote then you're selling your future. And I like how he answered. Vote doesn't determine your future, you as an individual will determine your future.”
