ACCRA – Veteran political commentator Victor Smith has issued a scathing condemnation of alleged vote-buying during the Ayawaso East NDC primaries, insisting that such practices must never be allowed to happen again.
Smith, speaking passionately on national television, warned that vote-buying undermines democracy, erodes public trust, and tarnishes the credibility of political parties. “What happened at Ayawaso East is unacceptable and must serve as a lesson for all stakeholders,” he said, emphasizing the need for strict accountability and reforms in internal party elections.
The statement has sparked widespread debate across social media, with many calling for urgent measures to prevent future electoral malpractices, while others argue that political education and enforcement mechanisms must be strengthened.
Victor Smith’s bold remarks have reignited national conversations about ethical standards, fair play, and the integrity of Ghana’s democratic process, making it clear that the Ayawaso East controversy will not be forgotten anytime soon.
