National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Stephen Ntim has said he was not aware of any incident of vote-buying in the super delegates conference held on Saturday, August 26.
He said nothing of that sort came to this attention.
It is recalled that a member of the Alan Kyerematen campaign team Hopeson Adorye alleged that huge sums of money in foreign and local currencies exchanged hands as part of inducement for votes in favour of Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
“In this election, money played a role, money, money. Money played a role, we are unafraid in making these claims. You could give someone US$5,000, what are you talking about?
“We also shared money,” he admitted when pressed by journalists “but whose was bigger? How can you give one person 100,000 cedis to go and vote?” he alleged further.
When challenged further, he posed: “What are you talking about? Go to Ashanti Region and ask.”
But speaking to a journalist in Accra on Tuesday, August 29, Mr Ntim said “From where I sit I didn’t witness any vote-buying incident, nothing of that came to my attention.”
Regarding the alleged attacks on some people during the polls, he said “Disciplinary measures will be put in place, investigations will be conducted and discipline will be meted out accordingly.”
