Kumasi, Jan 10, GNA - The Regional Chairmen of the People's National Convention (PNC) say they have assumed control of the running of the party as the mandate of the national leadership has ran out.

They would soon organize a national delegates' congress to pick new officers in line with the party's constitution.

They pledged to ensure adequate consultation with all stakeholders on the formation of a Congress Committee to supervise an open, transparent and credible election of national officials.

This was contained in a press release signed by the Chairman of the Committee of Regional Chairmen, Mr Thomas Akum-Yong, and made available to the Ghana News Agency in Kumasi on Tuesday.
