Aspiring Parliamentary Candidates will undergo the vetting in all regional capitals during this period.
The party had previously announced the establishment of committees to oversee the vetting process in constituencies with incumbent MPs.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued by the party and signed by Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary explained that the Regional Executive Committees have been tasked with communicating the date, time, and venue of the vetting to the respective constituencies and aspiring parliamentary candidates.<\/p>\n

In addition to the vetting in all regions, Aspiring Parliamentary Candidates in the Bawku Central, Ketu North, and Akatsi North Constituencies also undergo the vetting process.<\/p>\n
