The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has constituted a three-member committee to investigate allegations of inducement and vote buying during the Ayawaso East Parliamentary Primaries held on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
The decision follows an earlier announcement by the party to probe reports of widespread inducement and vote buying that allegedly marred the conduct of the primaries.
In a statement dated February 7, 2026, and signed by the party’s General Secretary, Hon. Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the NDC said the committee will be chaired by Mr. Kofi Totobi Quakyi, with Hon. Mahama Ayariga and lawyer Emefa Fugah serving as members.
According to the statement, the committee has been tasked to investigate the allegations thoroughly and make appropriate recommendations, including sanctions where necessary.
Its mandate also includes proposing sustainable measures and reforms to decisively end the practice of inducement and vote buying within the party’s internal electoral processes.
The committee is expected to submit its report on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
The NDC reaffirmed its commitment to internal democracy, transparency and ethical political conduct, assuring party members, stakeholders and the general public of its resolve to uphold the highest standards of integrity in its internal elections.
The party further urged its members and supporters to remain calm as the committee carries out its work, adding that further updates would be communicated in due course.
