Vote buying if allowed would not only breed corruption but have the potential to deny the party strong and quality leadership both at the constituency, regional and national levels and subsequently affected 2024 electioneering.

Mr. Yaw Dabie Mensah Appiah, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bono Region has cautioned the party against vote-buying in its internal elections, saying that would affect the fortunes of the party in Election 2024.
He emphasized the NPP could not get strong, loyal, and credible executives to manage the party if issues of vote-buying in the party’s internal elections were not tackled proactively once and for all.
Speaking in an interview at Odumase, Mr. Appiah, therefore, called on the leadership of the party to investigate allegations of vote-buying which characterized the just-ended regional executive elections of the party.
He said voting-buying if allowed, would not only breed corruption, but had the potential to deny the party strong and quality leadership both at the constituency, regional and national levels, and subsequently affected the 2024 electioneering.
Mr. Appiah said the NPP needed well-experienced party executives with proven track records to lead the party in the 2024 Election saying “other than that it would be very difficult for us to break the eight.”
He said the NPP was founded on the ideals of patriotism, but regretted that “monetization has gradually taken over everything in our great party”, saying “our founding fathers would not spare us if we allow money to decide in our internal elections.”
