According to reports, some delegates received sums ranging between GH₵1,000 and GH₵2,000 from Bamfo under the guise of transportation expenses.

In response to the situation, Nana Poku has demanded the return of the funds to Mr. Bamfo, warning of dire consequences should the money not be repaid.

"We do not understand and need clarification. The money we received was not to influence us to vote for him. If he wants his money, he should come because we are waiting for him," siad Evans Adu Gyamfi, the secretary at the GES polling station in Manhyia North.

Gyamfi further elaborated that the delegates are unable to reimburse Bamfo, highlighting the logistical challenge of identifying individual delegates who adhered to their voting commitments versus those who did not.

"You have gotten 15 (votes) and now complaining that it’s too small so you are taking back your money. He doesn’t know anything. Can he identify that this man voted for him or Collins or the other candidate? As for the money he is not going to get it because we have used it," Gyamfi emphasised.
