CPP redeces filing fees by 50 per cent

In response to calls on the Convention People’s Party (CPP) to reduce its filing fees for national and regional executive positions, the party has responded positively.
At its Central Committee yesterday the party reduced all filing fees by 50 per cent.
Additionally, all women who want to contest for any national or regional executive position would have the filing fees further reduced by 25 per cent.
With the 50 per cent reduction the new fees are as follows, National Chairman, GH¢ 10,000.00; Vice Chair, GH¢ 7,500.00; Treasurer, GH¢ 7,500.00; General Secretary, GH¢ 7,500.00 and Organisers – GH¢ 2,500.00.
For the regional positions the fees are Chairman, GH¢ 500.00; Vice Chairman, GH¢ 400.00; Regional Secretaries, GH¢ 400.00; Treasurer, GH¢ 400.00 and all others GH¢ 250.00.
The Central Committee has also directed the party’s constitutional review committee to ensure that the amended constitution made provision for more women to take up national positions.
It suggested that the amended constitution should include clauses that made it mandatory for the CPP to appoint at least one woman to all appointed deputy positions after general conference.
