On November 13, 2022, a photo emerged online with bundles of GHS 10 notes stashed in the trunk of a saloon car.

The photo was accompanied by a tweet by the handle @AbdulRaufIbra20, which claimed that money was bandied around during the recently held National Democratic Congress’ ( NDC) regional election  at the University of Development Studies,Tamale Campus.

This tweet stirred reactions with over 86 comments, 60 retweets and 331 likes.

Come and see how money, physical cash is flying at the NDC congress grounds in Tamale at UDS Dungu Campus… They will later come and be crying Ghana is broke.
