The Peoples National Convention's (PNC) suit against the Electoral Commission challenging the disqualification of Dr Edward Mahama from the from the 2016 presidential elections is not only crucial for the flagbearer but the party's national executives as well.
According to the party's Communications Director, Emmanuel Wilson the existence of the executives especially National Chairman, Bernard Mornah; and General Secretary Atik Mohammed as members of the PNC depends on the outcome of the suit.
The EC on Monday, October 10 disqualified Dr Mahama and eleven others for various anomalies on their nomination forms which it said breached CI 94, the constitutional instrument guiding the conduct of the 2016 polls.
Though the national executives have criticised the EC decision as being bias and moved to court in a bid to restore Dr Mahama's candidacy, some members of the party believe that it was the incompetence of the executives that caused such an embarrassment to the party.
Speaking in an interview on Starr FM, Mr  Wilson, asserted these executives must restore the party’s flagbearer in the presidential race or bid farewell to the party.
“This is a non-negotiable stance,they will have to resign their position with immediate effect. It means they have failed to execute their basic mandate which is to ensure that we go to elections and win...if they failed in filling a form they have been filling over and over, and because of their incompetence we have been disqualified, then they are not competent enough to lead the party,†he stated.
