“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.”

“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,” the statement indicated.

The party added in the statement that the polls will be decentralized to have voting done from the various regions, rather than congregating at a central location as done in the past.

The party added that “parent regions of newly-created regions [are] to organize Regional Conferences for the election of executives for the new regions.”

The party said it has consequently constituted an 8-member Congress Committee to help fashion out modalities for the congress to be held.

The members of the committee include Colonel Luri Bayorbor, Prof Raymond Atuguba, Dr George Aguilijam, Lawyer Issah Adam, Comrade Sulemana Seidu, Christina Bentie, Dr Kumi Ansah Koi and Matthew Bakinam.
