NDC flagbearer aspirants Alban Bagbin, Stephen Atubiga and Sylvester Mensah have both picked forms to contest the presidential primaries of the party in spite of being part of a petition to the party’s Council of Elders over ‘high’ nomination and filing fees.
It brings the number of candidates who have so far picked forms to contest the race to five after former President John Mahama and Professor Joshua Alabi to five.
