The nomination forms, available for purchase at GH₵3,000, require a non-refundable application fee. Additionally, a non-refundable filing fee of GH₵35,000 is required to complete the nomination process.

 

Women, youth, and persons with disabilities are eligible for a 50% rebate on their filing fees. The statement also noted that all aspirants, except the incumbent Member of Parliament, will be expected to pay an additional GH₵40,000 as party development fees.

 

The Sunyani East constituency, along with five other constituencies, did not participate in the parliamentary primaries organized by the party on January 27, 2024.
