During his address to the Chiefs and residents of Frankadua in the Asuogyaman Constituency in the Eastern Region, the speaker made reference to a recent incident in Assin North where delegates accepted money but voted independently. He encouraged the people of Frankadua to follow suit and exercise their voting rights without being swayed by monetary influence. He emphasized that the money politicians offer to influence votes rightfully belongs to the people, and urged them to disregard any unfounded claims that not voting for a certain candidate would cause spiritual harm.
The speaker acknowledged the common practice of politicians offering money and material things to influence voters, and advised the electorate to accept these offerings as their rightful due. He reassured them that there is no truth to the claim that not voting for a particular candidate would result in spiritual harm. In his exact words, he stated, “They will bring money to influence you to vote for them. Take the money because it belongs to you and disregard any false claim that the money would harm you spiritually if you don’t vote for them. I know they will bring money and some material stuff. When they bring them, please take them and vote genuinely during the election.”
By addressing the issue of monetary influence in elections and encouraging the people to vote genuinely without being swayed by external factors, the speaker conveyed a message of empowerment and autonomy to the residents of Frankadua. His words aimed to instill confidence in the electorate and remind them of their fundamental right to vote based on their own convictions and beliefs, rather than being influenced by external factors. This message resonated with the audience and contributed to a sense of empowerment and ownership of their political decisions.
