Vote-buying Allegations: NDC only gave transportation to voters Kumawood actor
Popular Kumawood Actor and National Democratic Congress (NDC) activist Michael Afrane has refuted claims his party engaged in vote-buying at the just-ended by-election in the Assin North Constituency of the Central Region.
Even though he admits some money was given to voters, he indicated that it was for transport to enable them to travel to their respective polling stations and cast their ballots on June 27, 2023 contrary to allegations by some elements of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to Michael Afrane, NPP gave some voters money and goodies with the aim of buying their votes and conscience but this never yielded the needed outcome at the end of polls.
Speaking in an interview with Ambassador TV monitored by MyNewsGh.com, Michael Afrane stressed”The good people of Assin North Constituency were eager to give James Gyakye Quayson and NDC victory because NDC has developed Assin North more than NPP”
“NPP executives were happily sharing money and goodies to the people of Assin North Constituency but they didn’t realize that Assin North is different from Kumawu” Michael Afrane told the host Osei Kwadwo
“I have heard some NPP members accusing NDC of sharing money, but the truth is, how can an opposition party compete with a party in power when it comes to money sharing to win votes during by-elections”, he wondered.
“There are some people who were supposed to vote in different communities but those people were not having transportation so some of us even from our own pockets gave them money as transportation but we never told or forced them to vote for NDC”, he explained.
Michael Afrane added “NPP came to Assin North By-Elections just to buy votes like what they did at Kumawu but the people of Assin North voted massively for NDC because they love development more than GHc500 and GHc200 cedis”
“All the developmental projects this government executed in Assin North Constituency was because of the by-elections but James Gyagye Quayson has been ordained to lead Assin North to the promised land”, he stated.
