Akan NPP commences nomination process for aspiring parliamentary candidates on April 15

The Akan Constituency Office of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially commenced the nomination process for parliamentary candidates aspiring to represent the constituency.

According to Mr. Merigah Abdul Sataru, the Constituency Secretary, nominations will be accepted until Wednesday, April 17, 2024.

In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Kadjebi, Oti Region, Mr. Sataru outlined the procedure for candidates, stating that they must obtain nomination forms after paying a non-refundable application fee of GH¢3,000.00 through a bankers draft to the New Patriotic Party National Headquarters in Accra.

“To successfully file the nomination, an aspiring candidate shall pay a non-refundable filing fee of GH¢35,000.00 in bankers draft in favour of the New Patriotic Party National Headquarters, Accra,” he said.

“However, women, youth, and persons with disability, who aspire to the higher political office will enjoy a 50% rebate on the filing fee.”

“This means they will be required to pay a non-refundable filing fee of GH¢17,500.00.”

Mr Sataru said the election will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2024 and appealed to will-be aspirants to conduct a clean campaign devoid of personal attack, insults and name-calling since it was a family affair.

The election has become necessary following the death of Alhaji Rashid Bawa, former Akan NPP parliamentary candidate, on Thursday, March 14, in Abuja, Nigeria.
