Press release

1. Unity of Nkrumahists
NEC, re-committed to the Unity of groups/parties of the Nkrumah fraternity. The party observes that any such unity/merger must be characterised by a sense of sincerety, honesty and utmost faith. The party believes that all adherents of the Nkrumah-Egala-Limann Tradition must eschew selfishness and egoistic tendencies that has frastructured the front overtime. The Party therefore condemns attempts by some unscrupulous, dubious and criminal individuals parading around the country and holding consultaions with PARTY Regional Executives on this matter. The NEC admonishes all such persons to desist from holding these illegitimate meetings with any organ of the party as it has the tendency of meeting popular resentment from the PARTY. In the interim, the PNC is concerned about strentherning our party from the grassroots so as to remain relevant for any future decisions.
2. Party Re-organisation
NEC has re-commissioned the national leadership to hold regular leadership caucus meetings to address national issues. NEC lauded the current National Executives for trying to do their best under difficult circumstances.
