According to the statement, the probe will examine allegations of vote buying and vote selling, as well as the sources of funds allegedly used to facilitate corrupt practices during the primaries.
The OSP further disclosed that during the NDC parliamentary primaries at Ayawaso East, one of the candidates, Mohammed Baba Jamal Ahmed, is alleged to have assisted a group of individuals who physically attacked an OSP officer.
