PNC presidential running mate returns home

Barnerman Baah Ntim, People's National Convention (PNC) Presidential running mate in the 2000 elections on Sunday returned home from the United Kingdom (UK) "to help build the party towards wining power in the 2004 elections."

Ntim left for the UK soon after his party had supported the NPP during the run-off to unseat the NDC, where he studied Political Party Organisation. He also organised and solicited support from the UK branch of the party.

He told the Ghana News Agency in an interview soon after arrival at the Kotoka International Airport that PNC was sure of victory, considering current events in the country.

He said "Besides the NPP's inability to deliver, the PNC has a sizable membership in the UK and other parts of the world, who are willing to pool resources to support the party win power in 2004 to save the suffering of Ghanaians".

"At the moment the NPP is finished because it has failed Ghanaians in many ways; the people can not go back to the NDC and the alternative choice is the PNC". He said the PNC was always talking about quality health care delivery, transportation and education for all and that the PNC would live to its promise if the people gave them the "test" by voting for the party.

He commended the government for stabilising the cedi but was quick to point out that, the people could not feed themselves despite the stabilisation and urged the government to help reverse the situation.
