TI Ghana Strongly Condemns Vote Buying
Accra, Ghana – February 9, 2026 Transparency International Ghana (TI Ghana) has issued a strong condemnation of reported vote-buying and inducement incidents during recent political primaries, including the National Democratic Congress (NDC) primary in Ayawaso East Constituency and earlier NPP presidential primaries. TI Ghana expresses grave concern over the brazen distribution of high-value items such as television sets, describing these acts as undue influence that undermines free, fair, and transparent elections. The organization warns that the growing normalisation of such practices threatens Ghana’s democratic integrity, erodes public trust, and weakens electoral accountability. TI Ghana commends His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama for the swift recall of Ghana’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, and acknowledges the NDC and the Majority in Parliament for their candid condemnation of the practice. The organisation particularly welcomes calls for the annulment of the Ayawaso East primary and for culpable candidates to be barred from future contests. Calling for decisive action, TI Ghana urges citizens to reject inducements, political parties to establish robust internal protocols, the Office of the Special Prosecutor to investigate and prosecute implicated persons expeditiously, and the courts to adjudicate such cases without fear or favour. TI Ghana reiterates its commitment to combating electoral corruption and fostering a culture of accountability in Ghana’s democracy.
