Following allegations of vote-buying during the election of a representative for the Greater Accra Region \u00a0to the Council of State, one of the defeated contestants has called for an expansion of the electoral college in order to curtail\u00a0vote-buying during the election.<\/p>\n
The defeated contestant, Desmond Decker, said expanding the college would stop the influence of money in the elections, since according to him, the number of delegates are only few.<\/p>\n
This was in response to the allegations of vote-buying, by him and other defeated contestants in the elections, which produced business mogul and President of Groupe Ideal, Dr. Nii Kotei Dzani as the winner.<\/p>\n
