Hopeson Adorye, a campaign member from the Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen camp, has accused the Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, of vote buying.

The former Kpone Katamansu constituency lawmaker made the wild claims after the results of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Super Delegates Conference for Francis Addai Nimo and Agyarko Boakye Kyeremateng were mentioned, said GBC Ghana Online.

"She entered the Women's Organisers office and gave the electorates money after they voted," he claimed in a Facebook video.

The former legislature said that the Chief of Staff's actions were motivated by her desire to become vice-president.

Commenting on the claims, Convention People's Party (CPP) youth leader Chairman Jerry said Hopeson Adorye's allegations are true.

''Hopeson Adorye is not a small boy, so his claims are true. They were sharing money. I hear that they want Frema Osei-Opare to be the running mate of Bawumia.

''The Alan team probably stationed some individuals there to monitor them. What Hopeson Adorye said is true, and there isn't anything wrong with that. I was not there, but he can't lie about such a thing,'' Chairman Jerry told YEN.com.gh.

Reactions to the claims of Hopeson Adorye

Since the footage highlighting Adorye's allegation emerged, netizens have posted diverse views.

Abu Lansani M. Abanton mentioned:

When you have a clown like this as a campaign team member, expect nothing but uselessness.

MoriAfari said:

Desperate times call for desperate moves.

Gomna Ibrahim commented:

So, were those who voted Ken over your candidate also scared of losing their jobs? What kind of logic is this? Be reminded Kennedy Agyapong beat your candidate for the second position.

Francis Woyin Akinnifesi reacted:

See them. Frustrated people. Too much bitterness. Those who voted for Ken are afraid to lose their job, right? Loose cannon. Some of you are the reason why Alan is where he is today.

Abubakar Usman posted:

Well. Alan, you chose the wrong team. Loose talkers. No doubt you are trailing behind Ken. These loose talkers are the very reason for your abysmal performance. These loose talkers don't reflect your fine character.
