The National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s three-member committee investigating allegations of vote buying and inducement during the Ayawaso East parliamentary primary is expected to submit its report to the party today, Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
The committee was constituted by the party’s national leadership following claims that some aspirants engaged in bribery during the parliamentary primary held on Saturday, February 7. Among the allegations is that the eventual winner of the contest, Baba Jamal, distributed money, television sets and other items to delegates to influence their votes.
Although Baba Jamal was officially declared winner of the primary, the outcome has generated controversy, with the Majority in Parliament and some senior party members calling for the annulment of the results. However, constituency executives have strongly opposed such calls.
A member of the committee, former MP and minister Inusah Fuseini, said the panel’s mandate is strictly fact-finding. Speaking to Citi News on Monday, February 9, he explained that the committee has engaged all relevant stakeholders connected to the primaries, including candidates, constituency and regional executives, polling agents and party officials who supervised the election.
The committee, chaired by former Minister for National Security Kofi Totobi Quakyi, is expected to present its findings and recommendations to the party’s Functional Executive Committee, which will determine the next steps.
Meanwhile, Baba Jamal has appeared before the committee and denied all allegations of vote buying. In a statement dated February 9, he described the claims as false and reiterated his commitment to party unity, thanking delegates for the confidence reposed in him ahead of the Ayawaso East by-election scheduled for March 3.
The committee’s report is expected to guide any disciplinary or corrective measures as the NDC seeks to uphold transparency, accountability and fairness in its internal electoral processes.
