Frank Bosompem Danso, the Asokwa Constituency Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has petitioned the OSP to investigate the conduct of Baba Jamal, the elected parliamentary candidate of the NDC for Ayawaso East Constituency.
The Regional Organizer believes monies and items allegedly used by the former 🇬🇭 High Commissioner to Nigeria to get delegates to vote for him in last Saturday’s internal primary of the NDC smacks of corruption.
Quoting portions of the constitution in support of his Petition, Mr Bosompem popularly known as “Tomtom” argues that the behaviour of the candidate is injurious to the country’s democracy.
We present the Petition as detailed by the Asokwa NPP Organiser.

* Petition for Investigation into Alleged Voter Inducement by Alhaji Baba Jamal*
Dear Special Prosecutor,
I, Frank Bosompem Danso(Tomtom), a citizen of Ghana and a native of Kade in the Eastern region and a resident of Atonsu in the Ashanti region respectfully submit this petition to request an investigation into the conduct of Alhaji Baba Jamal, Ghana’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, during the parliamentary primaries held in the Ayawaso East constituency yesterday.
It has been widely reported that Alhaji Baba Jamal distributed motorcycles, 32-inch televisions, and cash sums of three thousand cedis to delegates and constituents during the primaries. These actions raise serious concerns about voter inducement and the source of funds used for such expenditures.
Under Section 32 of the Representation of the People Law, 1992 (PNDCL 284), voter inducement through gifts or monetary rewards is prohibited. Such conduct undermines the integrity of elections and violates the principles of fairness and transparency enshrined in Ghana’s democratic system.
Furthermore, the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959) empowers your office to investigate and prosecute corruption and corruption-related offenses, including the misuse of public office for personal or political gain. The allegations against Alhaji Baba Jamal fall squarely within this mandate.
I therefore respectfully request that your office investigate:
– The origin of the funds and resources used by Alhaji Baba Jamal.
– Whether these actions constitute voter inducement or breach electoral laws.
– Any potential misuse of public office or resources in connection with these activities.
This matter is of great public interest, as it touches on the credibility of our electoral process and the accountability of public officials. I trust that your office will treat this petition with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.
Yours faithfully,
Frank Bosompem Danso(Tomtom)
