Ex-Speaker Doe Adjaho has urged the electorate not to sell their vote in the forthcoming national elections.

At Frankadua in the Eastern Region, Mr Adjaho told voters, during former President John Mahama's tour of the area, to reject any money offered for their vote.

"I’m telling you not to be deceived with money because if you take that money, you’re equally selling your birthright", Mr Adjaho told the chiefs and people of Frankadua.

"You may not get that money in the future again, which will affect your family", he added.

“I am pleading with the chiefs not to be deceived", he reiterated.

He also advised them against voting skirt-and-blouse.

"If you elect a chief in Frankadua, you cannot select his spokesman from Accra, so, I’m asking you to elect an NDC person to represent you in Parliament as you elect John Mahama as the president".

"You’ve seen what is happening in the country. Things are hard now, so, for a better future, don’t look at what will be given you. I’ll urge you not to take the money but to vote against them.”

Mr Adjoho also spoke against tribal politics.

"Don’t let anyone deceive you by practising tribal politics. What you’re trained with is what you practice".
