The National Democratic Congress parliamentary candidate for the Ayawaso East Constituency, Baba Jamal Mohammed Ahmed, has denied allegations that he induced voters during the party’s recent parliamentary primaries.
In a statement issued to the media on Monday, February 9, 2026, Baba Jamal confirmed that he appeared before a committee chaired by Mr Kofi Totobi Quakyi, which was set up to investigate claims of vote buying during the primaries held last Saturday.
He noted that he used the opportunity to clearly state his innocence and reject the accusations against him.
He stressed that his political record in the constituency shows respect for party processes and unity.
He recalled that he had previously contested two primaries in Ayawaso East and lost both times to the late Member of Parliament. On each occasion, he explained that he accepted the results peacefully in the interest of party cohesion.
Referring to the last primaries ahead of the 2024 general elections, Baba Jamal disclosed that he obtained 309 votes, while the eventual winner secured 452 votes.
He pointed out that his rising support among party members is not based on inducement but on the initiatives he has undertaken, his personal integrity, and a shared commitment to improving representation for the constituency in Parliament.
He expressed appreciation to the committee for granting him a fair hearing and thanked delegates in Ayawaso East for the trust they have placed in him to lead the NDC into the upcoming by election.
According to him, that confidence strengthens his resolve to work with party supporters to bring development to the area and improve living conditions for residents.
Baba Jamal ended his statement with messages of loyalty to the NDC, the Ayawaso East Constituency, and Ghana, reaffirming his commitment to the party’s values and goals.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
