Campaign Spokesperson and Special Aide to the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) Presidential Candidate, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has accused the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) of attempting to buy votes pf rural voters with salt and kerosene.
In a Facebook post, Madam Mogtari claimed these ‘gift’ are intended to influence rural communities ahead of the 2024 general elections.
She criticized the NPP’s approach, asserting that the ruling party is sidestepping discussions on the economic challenges facing the nation.
In her post, she urged rural voters to see these gestures as superficial efforts to secure support without sincere plans to address their needs.
She highlighted that these material gifts fail to address the broader hardships many Ghanaians face due to the current economic conditions.
Her post read, “Dear voter, we are currently working in Ghana’s most rural constituencies where most of you have probably never visited. In these communities, the former whiz kid #Bawumuliar and his corrupt aficionados are no longer preaching economics or offering real bold solutions to our hardships and poverty and yes poverty here is real, lack of infrastructure and even basic health facilities and yet they are offering little innocuous inducements, salt, pepper, kerosene, Maggie cubes etc. in return for votes.
Please don’t sit on the fence and watch this, injustice, remember that your vote will matter and will certainly make a difference. Vote wisely.
