The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has begun investigations into alleged vote buying during the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primaries in the Ayawaso East constituency.
In a public notice issued on Sunday, February 8, 2026, the OSP said it commenced investigations into the NPP presidential primaries conducted on January 31, 2026.
According to the statement, the office also launched a real-time investigation on February 7, 2026, into the NDC parliamentary primaries held in Ayawaso East.
The OSP said the investigations are focusing on allegations of vote buying, vote selling, and the sources of funds used in the alleged corrupt activities.
The statement further revealed that during the NDC parliamentary primaries, one of the candidates, Mohammed Baba Jamal Ahmed, allegedly abetted some individuals to physically assault an officer of the OSP.
The officer was said to be serving an investigative directive on Baba Jamal in connection with alleged vote buying and vote selling when the incident occurred.
As a result, the OSP has opened an additional investigation into the alleged assault of an authorised officer in the performance of his official duties.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor reminded the public that the law strictly prohibits corrupt practices during public elections, including vote buying, vote selling, intimidation, threats of violence, and physical attacks.
The OSP stressed that such acts are serious criminal offences under Ghanaian law.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
