Dr. Edward Mahama<\/strong><\/p>\n

The
\nPeople\u2019s National Congress (PNC) has set up a 15-man team to work towards the
\nparty\u2019s congress ahead of next year\u2019s presidential and parliamentary polls.<\/p>\n

The
\ncommittee has a former MP, David Apasera\u00a0and Cycil Rhodes as chairman and
\nsecretary respectively. The committee members have been tasked to complete
\ntheir work so that the congress can possibly take place in May next year, Daily
\nGuide<\/em><\/strong> has learnt from a source within the party.<\/p>\n

Barring
\nunforeseen developments the party\u2019s National Executive Committee (NEC) will be
\nmeeting on Saturday 13th<\/sup> July 2019 to deliberate upon relevant
\nmatters to the pending congress.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The PNC
\nwhich once boasted of four MPs has none today.<\/p>\n

Whether or
\nnot 74-year-old Dr. Edward Mahama would try the presidential slot for the party
\nonce more is a subject of speculation within and without the party. <\/p>\n

Two
\ndyed-in-the-wool members of the party, David Apasera and Henry Haruna Asante it
\nseems are interested in contesting the chairmanship position.<\/p>\n

A party
\nwhose sources of funding are dried up will not find the task ahead of it
\nsmooth-sailing because congresses in particular are cash-intensive.<\/p>\n

In previous
\ntimes the party could rely on the largesse of another political grouping for
\nsuch funding. <\/p>\n

The party\u2019s executive elections could take place in the Western Region as the presidential holds in the Eastern Region.<\/p>\n
