The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it will on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, vet parliamentary aspirants in ten constituencies where primaries were put on hold.
The Party last Saturday, closed nominations for ten out of the 18 Constituencies which could not participate in the May 13, National Parliamentary Primaries, due to “unresolved issues.”
The ten Constituencies are: Tano North, Manhyia South, Mampong, Fomena, Adansi Asokwa, Afram Plains South, Ayensuano, Abuakwa North, Lower West Akim, and Akwatia.
The Party will hold primaries in the Constituencies on 25 and 26 August 2023. Acting Director of Elections of the NDC, Daniel Amartey Mensah said, all is set for the vetting of aspirants for the ten cleared Constituencies on Wednesday, August 16, 2023.
He said the Party is putting measures in place to resolve outstanding issues to enable the remaining eight Constituencies to hold their primaries by next month.
The Party last week gave the green light for ten out of the 18 suspended Constituencies to hold their primaries to elect Candidates to represent the party in the 2024 general election.
