Rigging, disenfranchisement allegations rock NDC, PDP primaries in

The phrase refers to accusations that the primary elections of Ghana’s two major parties—the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (PDP)—were manipulated (“rigged”) and that party members or supporters were unfairly excluded (“disenfranchised”). Critics claim that internal party officials used procedural tricks, biased delegate selection, or vote‑count irregularities to favor certain candidates, prompting protests and calls for transparent, credible primaries.
