Dr. Hassan Laments: Ghanaians Prefer Wealth Over Wisdom in Elections, Calling It a Sad Reality"

Prominent political figure Dr. Hassan Ayariga recently expressed his worries about the status of Ghana's politics, namely the role of money in elections, in an interview with Pulse Ghana. He was dissatisfied with the current trend, which seems to favor material wealth over intelligence when electing representatives.

A concerning trend was brought to light by Dr. Ayariga, who said, "This country is currently voting for people with more money than more brains." This is a depressing tale that creates a risky precedent going forward. He cautioned that the youth of Ghana might be at risk because those who lack the funds to participate in vote-buying might be excluded from the democratic process. "This country's youth, its future leaders, are already at a disadvantage. He went on, "They are going into a competition that they are bound to lose."

The politician emphasized how urgent it is to address this problem and urged Ghanaians to examine the electoral process critically. "The story must be altered. It is imperative that Ghanaians start making better voting decisions since the system is flawed," he stated. It was time for the nation to prioritize choosing leaders based on their qualifications rather than their wealth, Dr. Ayariga stressed.
