The People’s National Party (PNP) has received its provisional certificate from the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) barely two months after its formation.
The PNP was formed by some disgruntled members of the People’s National Convention (PNC).
Leading the party is Janet Asana Nabla, who had served as the General Secretary of the PNC.
She addressed journalists on Tuesday, June 18 after receiving the certificate from the EC.
“We are delighted to have you at this historic press conference,” she stated.
“Today marks a pivotal moment in our nation’s history. The People’s National Party has received a provisional certificate from the Electoral Commission, and we stand before you, not with empty promises, but with a commitment to usher in a new era of integrity, hard work, and genuine progress.”
She noted that PNP has come to fill a gap of policies formulated without the family and community at the center.
“As a party, we have developed our political ideology in the context of communitarianism. Communitarian principles bring family and community issues to the center of political and public policy.
“We believe that as families are empowered and conditions in our communities improve, the economy will grow in leaps and bounds.
“We reject the notion that Ghana can develop on the basis of empowering a few minorities of well-connected citizens with capital through state sponsorship and assistance.”
The PNP Leader bemoaned the systemic failure in the country’s public sector.
“We wish to place on record that the problems of the economy are emanating from the continuous neglect of families and communities in public policy, which have heightened their vulnerability.
“Unemployment, illiteracy, poverty, and homelessness, to mention but a few, are occasioned by the hindered stakeholding of families and communities in the public policy of resource allocation.”
She promised that a PNP government will “abolish the free market economy in its current
form and introduce stringent price controls”.
“We believe that essential goods and services must be affordable and accessible to all Ghanaians. Our approach will ensure that prices are regulated in a manner that balances the needs of businesses and the welfare of consumers.”
