The announcement follows a report by the National Parliamentary Appeals Committee (NPAC) and the National Parliamentary Vetting Committee (NPVC) regarding the eligibility of aspirants to contest in the parliamentary elections.

The crucial meeting took place on Wednesday, January 17, at the Alisa Hotel in Accra.

The NEC, in conjunction with party bigwigs including the flagbearer, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Chairman Stephen Ayesu Ntim, former Chairman Freddie Blay, Chief of Staff Frema Osei Opare, and the former General Secretary, John Boadu among others were present at the meeting.

In a press statement signed and released by the party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong on Wednesday, NEC announced the final list of aspirants to compete in the party’s primaries scheduled for January 27.
