The recently elected National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary representative for the Ayawaso East by-election, Baba Jamal, has said that he will avail himself to the investigative process triggered by the NDC into the alleged vote buying.
He expressed optimism about coming out clean after denying the allegation.
The NDC earlier constituted a three-member committee to investigate allegations of widespread inducement and vote-buying during the primaries held last Saturday in the Ayawaso East constituency.
In a statement signed by the General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, on Saturday, February 7, the party said the committee had until Tuesday, February 10, 2026, to submit its findings.
“In line with the Party’s commitment to internal democracy, transparency and ethical political conduct, the Committee will investigate the allegations and make appropriate recommendations, including sanctions where necessary,” the statement said.
Speaking in an interview with TV3’s Armstrong Gold Alorgbor on Monday, February 9, Baba Jamal said, ” I’ve been invited to meet the committee later today, and as I said, I will make myself available for any investigation to go on so that our names will be cleared so that everybody will have confidence in the system. We don’t have anything to hide, and so we will make ourselves available to go and respond to whatever investigation they want to conduct. I will ask my supporters to stay calm.
” I am grateful to them, but everybody should stay calm because let’s allow the processes to go on and let the party do what it’s supposed to do. It appears that an independent candidate is taking advantage of what is happening.
” As I have said, I have not done anything wrong, and for that matter, I am sure I have earned a genuine victory; I will be allowed to go on. ”
Asked whether he shared items to vut vites, he said ” I also heard it after the election that I heard these things. I also heard it later that some TVs were shared, and now I know the problem I have. Now, a lot of people, because I think they didn’t share for everybody, now everybody is coming to my office here asking for TV, and I don’t have TV. Those who dealt with it, I don’t know. Actually, do you know that the people you are talking about, I don’t even know, I have not seen them. I have heard the names, I know the names, but I have not even seen them as I talk to you now.
