The party’s Central Committee at its December 21 meeting also agreed to fix January 28 and January 29 for the party’s National Delegates Congress to elect the Presidential Candidate at the Trade Fair Centre.
Some Central Committee members told the Ghana News Agency that the party would be holding all presidential aspirants to a strict set of standards.
The party leadership dismissed assertions that the filing fees was too expensive and explained that the party had to raise enough funds to run the affairs of the party and campaign in the 2016 elections.
