The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced the timelines for the re-run of the parliamentary primary in the Walewale constituency, following a High Court ruling in Tamale that annulled the initial election, which was won by Dr. Mahama Tia Kabiru.
The court’s decision, issued on September 2, 2024, has cleared the way for fresh nominations.
A statement signed by the Party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on Monday, September 2, confirmed that nominations will be open from Tuesday, September 3 to September 5, 2024.
The election is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 8.
Aspiring candidates are required to pay a non-refundable application fee of GHC 3,000 and a filing fee of GHC 35,000.
However, women, youth, and those with disabilities will receive a 50% discount on the filing fee.
Furthermore, candidates who competed in the initial primary are free from paying these expenses.
The Party has also formed a poll Committee, led by Alhaji Haruna Mohammed, to oversee the rerun of the poll.
