JoyNews' Democracy Is Not for Sale dialogue took place in Dambai in the Oti Region, bringing together stakeholders and members of the public to examine the growing influence of money in Ghana’s electoral process.

The engagement, held at the Dambai College of Education on Friday, November 13, focused on vote buying, political financing and the implications of financial inducements for the country’s democratic development.

The dialogue provided a platform for participants to reflect on how money influences voting decisions, the factors that make voters vulnerable to inducements and the need to protect the integrity of elections.

A key concern surrounding vote buying is its potential to undermine the freedom of voters to make independent choices and weaken public confidence in the electoral process.

The engagement forms part of JoyNews’ broader effort to promote public awareness and encourage national conversations on electoral accountability, transparency in political financing and the responsibilities of citizens in safeguarding Ghana’s democracy.
