Some leading figures from the People’s National Convention (PNC) have broken away to form their own party known as the People’s National Party (PNP).
The decision leading to the breakaway from the PNC was a result of the fact that they disagree with the ruling of the high court for reinstating individuals whom they believe were rightfully dismissed from leadership positions due to financial malfeasance and misconduct.
But during a press briefing in Accra on Wednesday, April 17, Sulemana Seidu, Interim General Secretary of the PNP, stated that the party could not function under a leader lacking integrity and credibility.
Below is the full statement:
“We stand before you today with heavy hearts and a deep sense of responsibility to our principles and the people we serve. It is with great sadness that we announce our decision to leave the People’s National Convention (PNC) and form our own party, the People’s National Party (PNP).
The decision to depart from the PNC comes as a result of the fact that we disagree with the ruling of the high court for reinstating individuals whom we believe were rightfully dismissed from leadership positions due to financial malfeasance and misconduct.
The members of the National Executive Committee, representing 11 out of 16 regions, disagree with the ruling. We cannot in good conscience allow individuals lacking integrity and credibility to govern our party, especially when the legacy of our founder, Dr. Hilla Limann, is one of sacrifice without blemish. As we approach the pivotal elections of 2024, we recognize that credibility is paramount. Our party, the People’s National Party, will uphold the values of honesty, integrity, and transparency. We will not compromise on these principles, nor shall we allow the tarnishing of our founder’s legacy by individuals with stained hands.
In light of these circumstances, we are pleased to announce the interim executives of the National Officers of the PNP. Their names are as follows:
Chairman and Leader: Janet Asana Nabla
Vice Chairman: Francis Oppong
General Secretary: Sulemana Seidu
Deputy Secretary: Abdul Kadri Issah
National Organiser: Francis Daasu
Deputy Organiser: Faustina Anane
Treasurer: Jessica Aputare
Deputy Treasurer: Zakaria Mohammed
National Women’s Organiser: Patience Lamisi Adams
Deputy Women’s Organiser: Sandra Adepa
National Youth Organiser: Muniru S. Mohammed
Deputy Youth Organiser: Bright Foto
Communication Secretary: Samuel Ayesu
We humbly ask for the continued support of Ghanaians as we embark on this new journey. Together, we will uphold the legacy of integrity and honesty set forth by Dr. Hilla Limann and work tirelessly to serve the best interests of our nation.
Thank you.
