George Boateng picked his forms on Monday, August 31 in time for the November 7 primary.

He becomes the first member to pick forms to contest the current leader of the party, Mr Mahama, who is highly tipped to be retained.

Mr Boateng, who is a staunch member of the party in the Madina Constituency, paid a total of GH¢51,000 for the forms as well as filing fee.

If he is cleared for the primaries, Mr Boateng will become the second Ghanaian after Nana Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings to contest a sitting president in internal contests.
