The party had earlier indicated it would hold a preliminary election on August 26, 2023, for the candidates who will be successful in this week’s vetting to shortlist 5.
It also set November 4, 2023, for its main presidential primaries to elect a flagbearer for the 2024 elections.
The Vice President and former Trade Minister have, since filing their nomination forms, been engaging delegates in various constituencies.
