An aspiring presidential candidate of the People's National Convention, Bernard Anbataayela Mornah has reaffirmed his commitment to move Ghana from the pool of debt it currently finds itself into a nation of wealth.

He expressed optimism that the PNC delegates will give him the nod on Saturday, September 7, 2024, at the party's national congress and will subsequently win the December general elections and will be sworn in as president on January 7, 2025.

He said that if he becomes the president of Ghana, he would lift the country from unacceptable levels of deprivation as he controls the nation's resources for the benefit of the people.

Meanwhile, the People's National Convention has slated September 7, 2024, to elect its presidential candidate as well as national and regional executives ahead of the December general elections.

The party's national congress has been scheduled to take place on a regional basis.

Bernard Mornah has formed a team to canvass for votes from delegates in the Ashanti Region.

Outlining his vision for the party and country at large, Bernard Mornah noted that his leadership would reinvigorate the structures of the PNC to entice many people across the country who will be ready to support with resources to ensure that the dream of the party to rule the country once again becomes a reality.

He highlighted that the PNC government in 2025 would move Ghana from its current debt status to a wealthy nation by tapping through the nation's resources to the benefit of the citizenry.

The PNC, which traces its roots to the People’s National Party (PNP), the party that produced President Dr Hilla Li­mann during the Third Repub­lic has seen its influence wane since its peak in the early 2000.

The PNC captured four seats in parliament in the 2004 general elections but lost two of those seats in 2008, struggling to regain its footing in subse­quent elections.

To rejuvenate the party, a new crop of leaders are vying for national positions to reset the PNC’s trajectory.

The party’s decentralized national con­gress is scheduled for September 7, 2024, where leaders will be elected ahead of the December general elections.
