There are reports that Members of Parliament who have declared support for the candidature of the former President have raised over GHC600,000 for him.
Meanwhile, nine of the aspirants have written to the Council of Elders of the party to intervene in the hefty GHC400,00 being charged as filing fee.
The aspirants including Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah and Alban Bagbin say the amount is unreasonable blaming the party’s general secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia of skewing the contest in favour of an individual in the race.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia is on record to have declared his support for the candidature of former President John Mahama in the race.
The petition to the Elders said the amount does not reflect the social democratic ideals of the party and must be reviewed.
