Prior to the by-election in Assin North on Tuesday, June 27, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Richard Ahiagbah, director of communications, accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of purchasing votes.
He claims that while the NPP is concentrated on winning votes and canvassing the district, its rivals are giving out gifts.
“Here is one of the sharing depots of the National Democratic Congress. Now, watch them deny and point false accusing fingers at others after doing this. The NPP is focused and canvassing for the votes we need for victory on June 27th,” he tweeted.
Sammy Gyamfi, Mr. Ahiagbah’s NDC rival, also charged the NPP with purchasing votes.
According to the NDC’s national communications officer, the NPP buys votes using state-owned knapsack sprayers and fertilizers.
In a Facebook post, he said, “Corrupt NPP government desperately seeking to buy votes in Assin North with state-owned knapsack sprayers and fertilizers.
“Consignment currently en route to Ningo, Gangan, Ayittey, and other NDC strongholds.
“The team is led by NPP National Chairman, Stephen Ntim, General Secretary, Justin Kodua and other bigwigs of the ruling party. See the attached videos for hardcore evidence of how taxpayers monies are being abused for election purposes by the failed Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government.”
