Dr. Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate and current Vice President, will be the first to present his forms at the Electoral Commission’s headquarters.
He will be joined by his running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, and other key party members. Following this, he will deliver a public address at the NPP’s national headquarters.
Later, at 2 pm, former President Mahama, the candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), will file his nomination papers with the support of his running mate, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang.
Both candidates are in the midst of a competitive campaign, each promising transformative changes for Ghana.
