The primaries were initially supposed to come off on December 7, however, a petition by some of the flagbearer aspirants to the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party led to its postponement to January 26.
However, in December, two aggrieved members of the party, Abdallah Issah and James Kabu Nartey-Oman sued the party in December last year over the guidelines governing the party's presidential primary.
But an out-of-court settlement between the National Executives and the litigants has made way for this new date.
