In an interview with JoyNews, Dr. Afriyie noted that while the ruling seeks to curb money politics and widen participation in internal party elections, it is unlikely to completely eliminate monetization in political party primaries. The Supreme Court has, by a 5-2 majority decision, ruled aspects of the delegate system used by political parties to elect presidential and parliamentary candidates as unconstitutional. The court ordered political parties to replace the system within one year with one that allows all members in good standing to vote. According to him, expanding voting rights to all party members could place enormous financial and logistical burdens on political parties’ members and aspirants. However, some residents share the political scientist’s view that it will not completely eliminate monetisation in political party primaries.
