He said even though the filing fee is still on the high side,  it is reasonable compared to the NPP\u2019s filing fee.<br \/>\nThe ruling NDC  have pegged its aspiring parliamentary filing fee at GH\u00a22,000 as  compared to the opposition NPP\u2019s filing fee of GH\u00a216,000. Female  aspirants&#8217; filing fee has however, been pegged at GH\u00a21,000 as compared  to the NPP\u2019s female filing fee of GH\u00a28,000.<br \/>\nAspirants will have to pick up application forms at a fee of GH\u00a2200 before paying the filing fee as well.<br \/>\nSpeaking on <strong>Asempa FM\u2019s Ekosii Sen<\/strong> programme, Alhaji Bature commended the party for particularly giving  50% concession to the female aspirants. According to him, it will  encourage more women to contest.<br \/>\n\u201cI laud the NDC for the rate of  the filing fee, even though it is still on the high side if you compare  it to the NPP, it is reasonable; particularly the 50% reduction for the  women,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nAccording to him, even though the fee is  reasonable there are some regions where NDC aspirants would only contest  because they just to partake in the process.<br \/>\n\u201cPeople especially  in the Ashanti region do not contest because they will win, but because  they want to leave a mark. They know that no matter how hard they try,  they will never win in some regions like the Ashanti region, likewise  the NPP in the Volta region. It wouldn\u2019t be easy for somebody to just  waste GH\u00a22000, when he knows he can never win,\u201d he noted.<br \/>\nHe said the NDC is poor compared to the NPP, who likes showmanship and pride themselves around that they are rich.<br \/>\nThe  Member of Parliament for Adenta, Hon. Kofi Adu Asare also sang the  praises of the NDC executives saying the party has shown that they truly  care for the people. According to him, everybody anticipated an upward  adjustment<br \/>\nof the filing fee since the party is in power but the executives have been considerate compared to the NPP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Managing Editor of the Bilingual Free Press, Alhaji Bature, has lauded the incumbent National Democratic Congress for pegging the filing fee for aspiring parliamentary candidates at GH\u00a22,000.
