LIVE: ‘Democracy Is Not For Sale’ forum goes to Central Region

Political actors, civil society organisations, youth groups, traditional leaders and members of the public, have gathered at the Centre for National Culture in Cape Coast for the Central Regional edition of “Democracy Is Not For Sale”.

The event has brought together citizens and key stakeholders to discuss the growing influence of money in Ghana’s democratic process.

The forum provides a platform for open and interactive discussions on issues including vote buying, the rising cost of political participation, campaign financing, and the impact of illicit funding on elections.

The initiative seeks to deepen public understanding of the threats money politics poses to Ghana’s democracy while encouraging citizens to actively participate in conversations on electoral reforms.

Organised by the JoyNews Impact Makers Foundation, the initiative seeks to address the growing concerns over vote buying, the high cost of political participation and the increasing role of illicit financing in influencing electoral outcomes.

The Cape Coast forum forms part of a nationwide campaign aimed at amplifying citizens’ voices, promoting issue-based politics and encouraging reforms to safeguard the integrity of Ghana’s elections.
