Expand Electoral College for parliamentary primaries slot- Amakye Boateng

Political lecture at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Amakye Boateng is calling on the various political parties to expand its electoral college for the parliamentary primaries slot.
He stated that parliamentary primaries slot is mostly characterized by ‘the highest bidder’ which sometimes affects the quality of candidate voted for to represent the constituency.
He stated that if the Electoral College is expanded it will prevent candidates from engaging in bribery and corruption.
Speaking to Adom news, Mr Amakye Boateng expressed his worry when delegates vote for a particular candidate who offers more money to them rather than capitalizing on the experience and quality of the aspirants.

For now both the NDC and the NPP have elected members to represent them in Parliament for the December elections though they are still some areas yet to be decided.
Interested some seating outspoken MPs have both lost their seat to represent their constituency in the various areas.
Looking at the NPP, some of the members who would be kissing good bye to parliamentary duties includes: the MP for Ahafo Ano South Stephen Kweku Balado-Manu and Maxwell Kofi Jumah MP for Asokwa.
