NDC parliamentary aspirant for the Ayawaso East primary, presented to participating delegates in the primary 32-inch television sets during the Saturday election.
Baba Jamal’s team also provided free boiled eggs to delegates, leading to jostling among some voters as they attempted to receive the food items.
The NDC held the primary to select a parliamentary candidate for the upcoming Ayawaso East by-election, following a successful vetting process that cleared five aspirants to contest the seat.
The candidates in the race were Mohammed Ramme, the NDC Constituency Chairman; Amina Adam, widow of the late Member of Parliament; Baba Jamal Mohammed Ahmed, Ghana’s High Commissioner to Nigeria; Yakubu Azindow; and Najib Mohammed.
But Baba Jamal in an interview noted that he was just gifting the delegates and did not expect it to influence them in any way.
Ayawaso East NDC parliamentary primaries: “Sharing the TVs only a gift and not meant to influence voters,” — Baba Jamal, confirmed the distribution of televisions and the eggs.
