A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has detailed some items allegedly received by party delegates during the just-ended Ayawaso East parliamentary primaries on February 7, 2026.
According to the woman, before Baba Jamal’s 32-inch TV, other aspirants gave GHS5000, Pad, Kivo Gari, Cowbell, ice chests and others.
She further declared that if Baba Jamal gave out the 32-inch TVs, there is no news about it.
The lady speaking in a viral video stated, “Before receiving 32-inch television sets from Baba Jamal, other aspirants had already given out cash amounting to GH¢5,000, Kivo Gari, Cowbell Coffee, sanitary pads, ice chests, and half-pieces of fabric, so if Baba Jamal gave out TV that is no news”.
However, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso East, Mohammed Baba Jamal Ahmed, has refuted claims of vote buying during the February 7 NDC primary.
According to Baba Jamal, he have engaged in any vote buying or election malpractices.
He, however, pledge to avail himself to assist the party in its investigation.
In a statement issued on Sunday, February 8, 2026, Baba Jamal stated, “I wish to state categorically that I, Baba Jamal Mohammed Ahmed, have not engaged in any vote buying or election malpractices and I pledge to avail myself to assist the party in its investigation into the subject matter anytime”.
“I want to use this opportunity to thank the President for the honour done me and the opportunity to serve my country as Ghana’s High Commissioner to Nigeria”.
“Finally, I sincerely thank the NDC in Ayawaso East for the confidence reposed in me to lead them into the main by-elections scheduled for March 3, 2026,’ he said.
Meanwhile, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has constituted a three-member committee to investigate allegations of inducement and vote-buying.
According to the NDC statement, the committee is expected to submit its report on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
