The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has set new dates for the re-run of its parliamentary primary in the Walewale constituency, following a recent High Court decision in Tamale.
The court, on September 2, 2024, annulled the original election result, which had been won by Dr. Mahama Tia Kabiru.
According to a statement from the Party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the nomination period will be from September 2 to September 5, 2024, with the re-run election scheduled for September 8.
Candidates are required to pay an application fee of GHC 3,000 and a filing fee of GHC 35,000. However, women, youth, and individuals with disabilities are eligible for a 50% discount on the filing fee.
Candidates who previously participated in the primary will be exempt from these fees.
To oversee the re-run, the Party has appointed an Election Committee chaired by Alhaji Haruna Mohammed.
