NPP to open nominations in orphan constituencies on Tuesday

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) will begin accepting nominations for parliamentary primaries in areas where the party does not have representation on Tuesday, July 11.

The nomination period will end on Thursday, August 10, with elections scheduled from September through December.

According to the party, male aspiring parliamentary candidates must pay a non-refundable filing cost of GH35,000, while women and those with disabilities pay half of the charge.

Aspirants have been asked to follow the party’s constitution and utilise the proper mechanism to channel any issues that may emerge.

Setting a date for the party’s internal elections was hampered by delays since the National Executive Council struggled to pick a date for the polls and had to amend its initial timetable.
