The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has released the schedule for the re-run of the parliamentary primary in the Walewale constituency, following a High Court ruling in Tamale that nullified the initial election won by Dr. Mahama Tia Kabiru. The court’s decision, issued on September 2, 2024, has paved the way for fresh nominations.
According to a statement signed by the Party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on Monday, September 2, the nomination period will run from September 2 to September 5, 2024. The re-run election is slated for Sunday, September 8, 2024.
Candidates are required to pay a non-refundable application fee of GHC 3,000 and a filing fee of GHC 35,000.
However, the Party has implemented a 50% discount on the filing fee for women, youth, and persons with disability, in line with its inclusive policies. Notably, candidates who participated in the initial primary election are exempt from paying both the application and filing fees.
Furthermore, the Party has constituted an Election Committee, chaired by Alhaji Haruna Mohammed, to ensure a transparent and smooth re-run of the election.
