The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the People’s National Convention (PNC) is set to meet to decide which party to support in the December 7 election.
The National Chairman, Samson Asaki Awingobit, who announced this, said the meeting is scheduled for next week.
Mr. Awingobit, speaking at a press briefing, mentioned that the decision will be between the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
However, he noted that the PNC is open to discussions with other political parties that may seek their support.
This decision follows the Electoral Commission’s (EC) disqualification of the PNC Presidential Candidate, Bernard Mornah.
Mr. Awingobit stated that they do not believe in wasting their votes, hence the need to support another party in the race. Mr. Mornah and 10 other candidates were disqualified from the presidential race after the EC discovered errors during a thorough vetting of their nomination forms.
Dissatisfied with this action, Mr. Mornah filed a lawsuit against the EC, alleging that his constitutional rights were violated by not being given the opportunity to correct the errors.
The Accra High Court subsequently dismissed the case, but the party has initiated another action at the Supreme Court.
