Stakeholders at a public dialogue in Ghana have called for collective action to tackle the issue of vote buying, which they say is undermining the integrity of the electoral process and influencing voters' choices. The forum, titled "Democracy Is Not For Sale," was organized by Adom Brands of the Multimedia Group Limited in partnership with the JoyNews Impact Makers Foundation.
Participants urged voters to focus on candidates' leadership qualities and integrity rather than financial inducements, and noted that while economic hardship can make people vulnerable to such pressures, citizens must acknowledge the problem and work together to address it. The dialogue also highlighted the importance of reporting instances of vote buying and the role of institutions like the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) and the Electoral Commission in enforcing electoral laws.
