“The party’s doors will be opened for submission of forms from the 20th to 22nd March 2023.”

“Vetting of the Presidential aspirants will also take place from 27th to 29th March.”

“Fee charges for picking up forms go for GH¢30,000 while the filing fees go for GH¢500,000.”

However, the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has advised Ghanaians to ignore the NDC.

According to Richard Ahiagbah, the Communications Director of the NPP, despite the current economic challenges the party is the best for the country.

Mr Ahiagbah indicated that the Akufo-Addo administration recognises the pain inflicted on them by the Covdi 19 and the Russia-Ukraine war and is working to ameliorate the hardships.

In a tweet, Mr Ahiagbah said “There’s no denying the difficulties of our predicament brought on by the global misfortune of Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war.

“The NPP and government recognizes the pain. But what is hard to fathom is the excessive fear-mongering of the NDC as thou they have alternative proposals. Nothing!”

Relatedly, the NPP has appealed to the Minister of Finance to review the current domestic debt exchange program.
