The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says preparations are underway for the vetting of its flagbearer candidates, which is scheduled for March 28-29 in Accra.
The election committee of the party led by Kakra Essamuah revealed this during a press conference on Thursday.
“I think this has been a wonderful experience. They came to file their nominations, and you can see that it was an exciting ceremony. The next step is the vetting; the presidential will take place on Tuesday and for the parliamentary vetting, it will be the next two weeks probably the first week of April. We are working towards that,” he said.
A vetting committee will question the four candidates on their qualifications for the position, ideologies, and party vision.
Once the committee completes its vetting, the aspirants may or may not appear on the ballot box on the day of the primaries, May 13, 2023.
The elections committee also stated that plans are still being made to hold elections in the 27 constituencies that were put on hold due to the opening of nominations for parliamentary primaries.
The NDC has closed the nomination period for all flagbearer candidates seeking to lead the party.
Former President John Dramani Mahama, former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, former Kumasi Mayor Kojo Bonsu, and businessman Ernest Kwaku Kobeah are the four aspirants who have successfully filed their nominations.
