The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) is preparing to commence its presidential primary nominations from April 1 to April 30, 2024.
According to a statement issued by the PPP’s National Secretary, Remy Paa Kow Edmundson, aspirants will undergo vetting, and elections are expected to conclude by May 15, 2024.
Furthermore, the party has announced a 50% reduction in filing fees for female aspirants and individuals with disabilities.
Interested aspirants can obtain their nomination forms from the party headquarters during the designated nomination period.
These decisions were made during the party’s national committee meeting held on March 7, 2024.
The PPP has committed to conducting a presidential primary that is free, fair, and transparent, urging all party members to lend their support to the process.
Having participated in previous general elections since its establishment in 2012, the PPP intends to contest in the upcoming 2024 general election.
Reports indicate that Madam Brigitte Akosua Dzogbenuku, the party’s 2020 Presidential Candidate and 2016 running mate, has expressed interest in running for the presidency.
Additionally, the party has announced plans to focus on securing no more than 10 parliamentary seats in constituencies where it is confident of winning in the 2024 general election.
Despite fielding 19 parliamentary candidates in the 2020 elections, the party was unable to secure a seat in Parliament.
