Meanwhile, some potential aspirants are waging a campaign against her as they claim she is not an indigene of Agona. One of the possible candidate Mr. Onomah Coleman who has been campaigning on the strength of being Agona indigene has been on the neck of the party people to vote against and chase the ‘strangers’ out of their land. The New Patriotic Party opened nomination for presidential and parliamentary aspirants for areas with sitting MPs on January 20, 2020. Parliamentary aspirants on the other hand, will pay a non-refundable filing fee of GH¢20,000 and a GH¢2,000 application fee.
