The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has launched an investigation into vote-buying allegations during the primaries of two major Ghanaian political parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The OSP's probe comes as a response to reports of corrupt practices, including vote-buying, vote-selling, and intimidation, during the primaries held earlier this year. According to the OSP, the law strictly prohibits such acts, emphasizing that engaging in vote buying, vote selling, intimidation, threats of violence, and acts of violence is a serious offense. The investigation focuses on the sources of funding for these alleged corrupt acts. During the NDC parliamentary primaries in Ayawaso East, one candidate is accused of abetting physical attacks on an OSP officer. This incident has led to an additional investigation into the assault of the authorized officer in the line of duty. The OSP has reminded the public that corrupt practices linked to elections remain criminal offenses under Ghana's laws. As the investigation unfolds, the OSP will continue to pursue all credible allegations and take appropriate legal action where evidence supports prosecution. Meanwhile, social media is abuzz with discussions about former President Mahama's fashion choices, sparking debates between Ghanaians and Zambians. This controversy has ignited a fire, with many expressing their opinions and sharing their thoughts on the matter. The OSP's probe into the vote-buying allegations and the social media uproar over Mahama's fashion choices both highlight the ongoing debates and controversies in Ghanaian politics and society.
