Ghana’s Commissioner to Nigeria, Baba Jamal, has emerged victorious in the National Democratic Congress parliamentary primary for the Ayawaso East Constituency.
He polled 431 votes, surpassing his closest contender, Hajia Amina Adam, who garnered 399 votes.
The other candidates, Mohammed Ramme, Dr Yakubu Azindow, and Mohammed Najib, received 88, 45, and 1 vote, respectively.
The primary, held on Saturday, February 7, 2026, aimed to elect the party’s candidate for the upcoming by-election.
However, the party has initiated an investigation into alleged vote buying, which reportedly marred the election.
During the primary, Baba Jamal’s campaign distributed items such as 32-inch television sets and boiled eggs to delegates.
Baba Jamal justified the action, saying it was gifts and not a vote-buying scheme as alleged.
