Leadership of the People’s National Convention (PNC) has denied publications in the media indicating its National Chairman has defected to Alan Kyerematen’s Movement for Change.
The party explains the persons named in the said publications were part of the former executives who were suspended from the party due to their involvement in the leadership struggle that created the division.
In a statement issued by the party Thursday, June 13, 2024, signed by its National Chairman, Moses Dani Baah, and others, it urged the public not to be “swayed or distracted by the surreptitious attempts by detractors seeking to cause public disaffection for the party.”
The leadership has asked the public to focus their attention on the measures it has adopted to reorganize the party ahead of the 2024 elections.

For Immediate Release
13/06/2024
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF THE PNC HAS DEFECTED TO THE MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE
The attention of the PNC has been drawn to widespread media publications claiming that an immediate past National Chairman and Vice have defected from the party to Alan Kyerematen’s Movement for Change.
These media publications are false, misleading, and a calculated attempt to hoodwink the unsuspecting public, especially the members of the PNC, into thinking that the PNC is divided.
For the records, the said Bala Maikankan and Henry Haruna Asante are part of the group of former executives who were most recently suspended by the party for their involvement in the protracted leadership tussle that derailed the reorganisation and progress of the party since 2021.
Consequently, neither Bala Maikankan is a former Greater Accra Regional Chairman nor Henry Haruna Asante can purport to be executives of the party defecting to any other political group.
At the last National Executive Committee of the Party in Accra on 8th June 2024, the PNC had a full complement of its National Executives who deliberated and fashioned out a roadmap for the reorganization of the party ahead of the 2024 elections.
We therefore call on the rank and file of the party to focus on the reorganization roadmap as published and not swayed or distracted by the surreptitious attempts by detractors seeking to cause public disaffection for the party.
Thank you….
