The Deputy National Communications Officer, Godwin Ako Gunn, has suggested that dissatisfaction over alleged inducements during the party’s delegate elections may have contributed to the low voter turnout in the Ayawaso East parliamentary by-election.
Speaking after the by-election, he indicated that the reduced participation could not be attributed solely to the fasting period.
According to him, widespread concerns over reports that some delegates received television sets and cash during the internal elections left many party supporters disillusioned.
He noted that the frustrations became evident during his door-to-door engagements with constituents, where several voters openly expressed anger about the alleged incidents.
He further revealed that voter turnout declined by about seven percent compared to the 2024 general election, underscoring what he believes is a growing need to restore confidence and transparency in the party’s internal processes.
