Bawumia won the super delegates election because he paid more money – Amoako Baah

He said the Vice President’s Campaign Team was able to induce the voters with money for him to win.

According to Dr. Amoako Baah, the outcome of the election was significantly influenced by financial considerations rather than Bawumia's popularity.

“A lot of people have been paid, including government appointees, party chairmen and MPs. Is that how it is supposed to be? So the thing was skewed and it doesn’t mean he was the most popular, but he was able to pay the money.

“Ten people were going to the election, and only one person had around 70 percent; statistically, it wasn’t normal. There is something wrong,” myjoyonline.com quoted him to have said in an interview on Nhyira FM on August 29, 2023.

He added: “So, those who did not have money had to strategize not to put much money into the first election. If Bawumia had around 70 percent, it wasn’t because he was popular; he paid money.”
