The Peoples National Party (PNP) has received provisional certificate from the Electoral Commission to prepare for participation in the 2024 elections.

This comes after the National Executive Council of the Peoples Nation Convention (PNC) threatened legal action against the revival of the party that brought Dr Hilla Limann to power in 1979.

The PNP was revived after the founding members broke away from the PNC after three years of internal wrangling among the leadership of the latter.

The leadership of the PNC at its National Executive Council meeting a fortnight ago threatened legal action against the revival of the PNP by Janet Asana Nabla and her defected team, claiming that they have no right to associate themselves with anything Dr Hilla Limann, since they have chosen to break away from the PNC.

David Apasera was captured on record to have said that, “the decision by some disgruntled members of the PNC to resurrect our antecedent party, the PNP is an attempt to confuse members of our party and Ghanaians and therefore shall not see the light of day.”

“All those who have gone as we have said, the PNP cannot see the light of day because we are going to challenge it,” he emphasized.

In spite of the threat, the PNP on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, secured a Provisional Certificate from the Electoral Commission to go ahead and establish party offices in all the regions and constituencies.

Chairman and leader of the PNP, Janet Asana Nabla in a rebuttal said the PNC should rather focus on making their party attractive to the electorates.

She said, “if the person is saying that the PNC should not exist, then why is the CPP existing? She quizzed.

“It was as a result of the CPP that PNC came about. We don’t have Dr. Hilla Limann and the PNP. He did not know anything about the PNP. He was walking his somewhere and he was brought under the umbrella of the PNP so Dr. Hilla Limann does now own the PNP and he wasn’t the founder of the PNP,” Asana stated.

She noted that, “he (Dr. Hilla Limann) became a president under the umbrella of the PNP after Imoro Igala brought him into the party. So, if anyone is going to fight us, it shouldn’t be the PNC.”

Meanwhile, the PNP is resolved to contest the 2024 general elections. The party is keen on implementing policies that will seek to control market prices for all goods.
