As tensions in Ayawaso West Wuogon increase, Lydia Alhassan provides voters with special voting information.

Tensions are rising in Ayawaso West Wuogon as incumbent MP Lydia Alhassan was seen distributing food to voters during the special voting exercise on December 2.

This action has drawn sharp criticism from her opponent, John Dumelo of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who condemned the gesture as a violation of electoral rules. Dumelo questioned the legality of sharing food with voters still in line, suggesting it undermines the integrity of the voting process.

Despite the controversy, voting proceeded smoothly, with reports indicating high turnout. However, Dumelo expressed concerns over potential electoral inducements, emphasizing that such actions could lead to unfair advantages.

Both candidates had previously spoken confidently about their chances in the upcoming elections, but this incident has introduced an element of contention that could influence voter sentiment.
As Ghana approaches its December 7 elections, maintaining a fair and transparent process is crucial for all parties involved.
