The All People\u2019s Congress (APC) has opened nominations for aspiring parliamentary aspirants with the forms going for GHc 200.<\/p>\n

The party, which recently elected<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Hassan Ayariga as flagbearer for the November polls, is obligated under its constitution to provide an opportunity for willing members to file and contest for a place in parliament on the ticket of the party.<\/p>\n

The General Secretary of the party, Razak Kojo Opoku, who spoke to Citi News<\/strong>,\u00a0explained that the party opened parliamentary nominations on\u00a0Tuesday, \u201cso that those who aspire to go to parliament, and they desire to contest on the ticket of the APC, they can pick a form so that the party will look at it and also sanction them, so that when the Electoral Commission opens their nominations, they can file in the name of APC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Filing fee free for youth, women, disabled<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Opoku also revealed that, the cost of the form will be GHc 200 however, \u201cthe filing is free for the youth, women and disabled who have parliamentary ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took that decision because APC is a party for the youth and we want the youth to be empowered and also get the opportunity to contribute to national development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Members of the APC in June, officially acclaimed the party\u2019s founder, Hassan Ayariga, as the party\u2019s flagbearer for the 2016 general elections, during the party\u2019s national delegates\u2019 congress at the International Conference Centre in Accra.<\/p>\n

Hassan Ayariga broke away from the Peoples National Congress (PNC), after he lost the party\u2019s flagbearership contest to Dr. Edward Mahama.<\/p>\n

The APC, founded in late December 2o15,\u00a0received its provisional certificate<\/a><\/strong><\/span> of registration from the EC in February, 2016.<\/p>\n
