The National Democratic Congress (NDC) committee tasked with probing allegations of inducement and vote-buying during the Ayawaso East parliamentary primary is expected to present its report on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
The party constituted a three-member panel following claims that some aspirants attempted to influence delegates with money and other incentives during the primary held on Saturday, February 7.
One of the key allegations involves former Deputy Minister Baba Jamal, who is accused of distributing television sets, cash, and other items to delegates ahead of the vote. Despite the allegations, Mr Jamal emerged victorious in the contest.
His victory has since generated intense debate within the party, with the Majority caucus in Parliament and several senior NDC figures calling for the results to be annulled. These calls, however, have been firmly rejected by constituency executives, who have defended the outcome of the primary.
In an interview with Citi News on Monday, February 9, 2026, committee member Inusah Fuseini clarified that the panel’s role is limited to establishing the facts surrounding the allegations.
“Our responsibility is purely fact-finding. To do that effectively, we have to engage everyone who played a role in the Ayawaso East primaries,” he stated.
Mr Fuseini noted that the committee has interacted with electoral supervisors appointed by the party, as well as the candidates and party executives at both constituency and regional levels.
“We have met with party officials who oversaw the election, the candidates themselves, and constituency and regional executives. Based on our findings, we will submit recommendations to the party,” he said.
The report is expected to shape the NDC’s response to the controversy and determine the way forward regarding the disputed primary.
