The meeting which is taking place at the premises of the Local Government Institute is expected to fix a date for the primaries.

The party’s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia is chairing the meeting.

Article 43 of the party’s constitution states that, the National Executive Committees shall notify all Constituency Executive Committees as to the time of the opening of nomination for the contest of primaries for the parliamentary seat in each constituency.

It said the Constituency Executive Committee shall within seven days of receipt of such notice circulate the notice to all Poling Divisions inviting nominations from prospective candidates.

The Constitution states that at a date to be determined by the Constituency Executive Committee but guided by the overall calendar of the Party’s political activities and all prospective candidates shall be invited to a Constituency Executive Committee meeting to select prospective candidates that meet the eligibility criteria of the party.
