The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the People’s National Convention (PNC) has submitted its report on the roadmap towards the holding of a congress and reorganization of the party.
NEC received the report of the Congress Committee that was set up last
year to fashion out the modalities for the structural reorganization of the
party from the polling station to the national level.
Presenting the report to the National Chairman, David Apasera, who
chaired the 15-member Congress Committee, outlined the various recommendations
that the committee put together in the report meant to rejuvenate and
strengthen the party structures, especially going into the 2020 elections.
Mr. Apasera stated that the committee did its work under austere
logistical conditions and prayed that their work would support the enhancement
of the fortunes of the party.
The national chairman has given an assurance that when the report is
fully discussed it will be implemented to make the PNC a winsome party in the
next election. The NEC also constituted a fund raising committee tasked with
the responsibility of raising funds for the reorganization of the party and
also for the organization of various conferences culminating in National Congress
of the Party.
The seven-member Fundraising Committee under the chairmanship of Dr.
Edward Mahama, leader of the party, has been given a three-month period to
submit a report on their activities detailing how much material and financial
resources it has been able to put together to
inform the appropriate steps to take towards the reorganization drive of
the party.
Other members of the committee include David Apasera, Henry Asante,
Madam Janet Asana Maadinam Nabla, Alhaji Baba Mohammed, Emmanuel Anyidoho and
Alhaji Umar Bekure.
Indications are that Dr. Edward Mahama could be bearing the flag for
the party during next year’s general elections. Henry Haruna Nelson’s name
popped up as one who could be gunning for the chairmanship slot.
PNC has participated in all elections since
1992 but with declining political fortunes over the years to the extent that it
no longer has a single member in Parliament; the party needs a total
overhaul.
Last Saturday’s NEC meeting held at the party’s headquarters took place against the backdrop of discussions among party supporters about how to revive the political grouping whose lull is not only worrying but also not in the interest of democracy. It has been a year since the last congress of the party was held.
