The National Executive Committee of the People’s National Convention (PNC) has dismissed its 2020 flagbearer, David Apasera and chairman of the party, Moses Dani Baah.
It follows complaints of financial malfeasance and misconduct leveled against the two executives.
A communique issued by the party after its NEC meeting in Kumasi on Tuesday (7 September) asked its Greater Accra Regional Chairman, Bala Saliu Maikanka, to temporarily act as chairman and leader of the party.
The party has, however, reinstated its embattled General secretary Janet Nabla who was allegedly dismissed last week.
Below is the communique:
COMMUNIQUE AT THE END OF THE EXTRAORDINARY PNC NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (NEC) MEETING HELD IN KUMASI, 7TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2021

-
Present at the meeting were nine (9) regional chairmen and secretaries, some national officers as required by law. National Vice Chairman Henry Asante and Sam Adeifio (the Central Regional Secretary) were present virtually via Zoom.
