CPP warns money is turning Ghana’s politics into an ‘auction’

Speaking at the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Delegates Conference, Mr Eshun said the monetisation of politics risks taking political power away from ordinary citizens and replacing merit with financial muscle.

According to him, leadership must be based on a candidate’s record of service, commitment to the people and political vision rather than financial capacity.

He called on political parties to work across party lines to end what he described as the “auction block of politics”.
