Prof Kobby Mensah, a senior lecturer at the University of Ghana, has called on the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to broaden its inquiry into incidents of vote buying during the recent New Patriotic Party (NPP) orphan constituency parliamentary primaries.

The OSP issued a wanted notice for six individuals on Sunday, December 3, 2023, alleging their involvement in vote buying during a public election.

Although the OSP did not specify the election in question, viral videos depict the men in the notices admitting to receiving money from contenders in the recently concluded NPP orphan constituency primaries.

In response to the wanted notice, Prof Kobby Mensah urged the OSP to also summon the parliamentary aspirants who purportedly provided money to delegates.

He pointed out that some of the candidates in the concluded primaries have openly admitted to offering money on radio and TV, emphasizing the importance of questioning them as well.

“Pls invite the parliamentary candidates too, if these are only delegates. We have seen and heard PCs on TV and Radio admit payments of some sorts,” he wrote on X on December 3, 2023.
