The nomination forms for a parliamentary candidate who is not allowed access to them in the constituency must be purchased from the regional secretariat. If this is not possible, the forms can be downloaded from the party website (www.newpatrioticparty.org).
Aspirants who downloaded nomination forms from the party website were instructed to provide evidence that they were not given the chance to purchase the forms at the constituency or regional levels upon submission. Forms printed from the party website were to be turned in to the general secretary at the party’s national secretariat in Accra.

Women, people with impairments, and young people will receive a 50% reimbursement on the filing fee.
A youth, for emphasis, is a person who is between the ages of 18 and 40, as stated in the statement.
Moreover, candidates must pay a GH¢40,000 non-refundable development fee. All payments must be submitted to the New Patriotic Party National Headquarters in Accra via banker’s draft.
