The United Front Party (UFP) is charging a staggering GH¢100,000 as nomination fee for the party’s presidential candidate position.

National Chairman of the party, Nana Agyenim Boateng aka Gyataba, made the announcement whilst addressing newsmen at Kunsu.

He said people interested in national positions in the UFP would also cough up GH¢10,000 before they could get nomination forms.

Gyataba announced also that the nomination forms for the regional and constituency positions would go for GH¢5,000 and GH¢500, respectively.

He said that the nomination forms would be on sale at the party’s offices across the country from May 26 to June 3, this year.

Gyataba was speaking during a short ceremony to re-commission the Kunsu DA Primary and JHS which he used his own money to rehabilitate.

The school was said to be in a deplorable state so authorities appealed to Gyataba for help, and he responded positively by giving the school a facelift.

The UFP chair said the party would vet people who would pick the nomination forms hopefully in two weeks’ time to determine those who are eligible to contest for the various positions.

He announced that the UFP would organize its national delegates’ congress to elect its flagbearer and other executives in Kumasi at a date to be announced soon.
