Political figures, civil society groups, youth organizations, traditional leaders and ordinary citizens have convened at the Centre for National Culture in Cape Coast to attend the Central Regional iteration of "Democracy Is Not For Sale." The gathering has brought together a diverse range of stakeholders to deliberate on the rising influence of money in Ghana's democratic system.
The forum serves as a venue for candid and interactive discourse on topics such as vote-buying, the escalating expense of political engagement, campaign financing, and the ramifications of illicit funding on elections. This initiative aims to enhance public awareness of the potential threats posed by money politics to Ghana's democracy and to motivate citizens to actively contribute to discussions on electoral reforms.
The JoyNews Impact Makers Foundation is the organizer of this endeavor, which seeks to tackle rising worries about vote-buying, the high cost of political participation, and the growing role of illicit financing in swaying electoral results. This Cape Coast forum is part of a broader nationwide effort to amplify citizens' voices, promote issue-based politics, and advocate for reforms to protect the integrity of Ghana's elections.
