NDC Accuses APC of Bribery Amid Candidate Defections

The NDC accused the APC of bribing its candidates with cash, political appointments, and material incentives to entice them away from the opposition. Osa Director Esq., the NDC’s National Publicity Secretary, stated that those who accepted the inducements were never truly aligned with the party's core values.

He expressed that the defectors were "bad rubbish" and wished them luck in their future political endeavors. In response to the vacancies created by these defections, the NDC announced plans to invoke the Electoral Act, 2026, to organize fresh congresses in the affected constituencies, ensuring that credible and competent replacements are selected.

The NDC characterized the APC's actions as desperate, referring to them as "the last kicks of a dying horse," and urged supporters to remain calm. The NDC reaffirmed its commitment to restoring good governance, enhancing national security, and driving economic prosperity.

Felix Morka, the APC spokesperson, was unavailable for comments, but an anonymous APC chieftain dismissed the NDC's allegations.
