Siena:The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has established a GHS50,000 filing fee for aspirants aiming to become regional chairpersons, with fees for other regional executive positions varying from GHS10,000 to GHS30,000.

Those aspiring for Regional Treasurer and Communication Officer positions are required to pay GHS20,000 each, while candidates for Youth Organizer, Women's Organizer, and Zongo Caucus Coordinator positions will pay GHS15,000 each.
The filing fee for deputy positions, including Deputy Secretary, Deputy Organizer, Deputy Treasurer, Deputy Communication Officer, Deputy Youth Organizer, and Deputy Women's Organizer, is set at GHS10,000 each. Additionally, aspirants must pay GHS1,000 for nomination forms.
