NPP 2024 primary: Kwabre East MCE allegedly offers GH¢1,500 to delegates

Sefwi Akontombra: Djornobuah Alex Tetteh

Female delegate laments over small amount from candidates in NPP 2024 primary

In a previous story, YEN.com.gh reported that a New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegate in the Tema West Constituency lamented the paltry amount she received from candidates in the party’s 2024 parliamentary primary.

She expressed disappointment over the GH¢1,000 sum she received, claiming it failed to meet her expectations. During an interview after casting her ballot, the female delegate said the amount she received from her Member of Parliament four years ago was significantly higher than in 2024.

When asked if she was aware of the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) prohibition on vote-buying, she challenged it.
