The People’s National Convention (PNC) has officially opened nominations for the election of its National Executive Officers and a Presidential Candidate. The opening of nominations comes off with just four months to the 2020 General Elections.
The party is also set to conduct its National Delegates Congress on September 19, 2020, to elect its leaders ahead of the 2020 polls.
Bernard Mornah, who is the Chairman of the party in a statement disclosed that the decision for the opening of nominations and date for the National Congress was agreed upon at a National Executive Committee meeting held on Tuesday, August 18, 2020.
“The National Executive Committee of the PNC at its meeting on Tuesday 18th August 2020 held at the UDS Guest House in Accra has slated the National Congress of the Party to elect a Presidential Candidate and National Executive Officers of the Party for the 19th of September, 2020.”
The statement also revealed, “In this regard, the Party has officially opened nominations for interested and qualified members commencing 19th August 2020 to 25th August 2020 when nominations would be closed.”
It was also included in the statement that the polls will be decentralized to have voting done from the various regions, instead of converging at a central location as it has always been done previously.
The party disclosed that “parent regions of newly-created regions [are] to organize Regional Conferences for the election of executives for the new regions.”
Moreover, the party said it has consequently constituted an 8-member Congress Committee to help fashion out modalities for the congress to be held.
