PNC Executives urged to work hard

Alhaji Ahmed Ramadan, National Chairman of the People's National Convention (PNC), on Friday appealed to party activists to work hard towards victory in the 2012 General Elections. "It is relevant that you position yourselves well so that come 2012 we can give Ghanaians the alternative government". Alhaji Ramadan was speaking at a day's workshop in Koforidua on enhancing the capacity of party executives to build strong structures at the constituency levels. The workshop, which was attended by party executive drawn from all the constituencies in the Eastern Region, was funded under the Netherlands Institute for Multi Party Democracy/Institute of Economic Affairs. Alhaji Ramadan urged party supporters to have self-confidence in the PNC and not to be swayed by deception from their political opponents adding that the party was determined to make an impact in the 2012 elections. He expressed worry about moves being made by some Convention People's Party (CPP) executives to convince PNC supporters that the party had merged with them. Alhaji Ramadan said though he was not against a strong united Nkrumahist party, the right thing must be done adding that those deceptions aimed at undermining the national executive would not work. He advised PNC supporters to appreciate the party they are in adding that PNC is the future Mr Mohammed Atik, National Youth leader of the PNC, advised the participants not to develop inertia towards the running of the party at their constituency levels. He urged them to "sell" the good ideas of the party to the people at the grassroots level to be able to woo more supports to the party.
