The People’s National Congress (PNC) has announced its openness to engaging with different political parties ahead of determining which one to support in the 2024 General Elections.
This follows their disqualification by the Electoral Commission, with the issue currently pending before the Supreme Court.
However, the party is concerned that the legal proceedings may take longer than expected, prompting them to consider immediate steps.
At a press briefing, the party’s National Chairman, Samson Asaaki Awingobit, shared that a National Executive meeting is set for Monday, November 25, to decide which political party they will align with.
“The PNC National Executives will not sit down and allow the 2024 General Election to come and pass without deciding as to where we want to go. We are open to discussions. The two major political parties want to form a government but they cannot form a government when PNC doesn’t throw our weight to any of them.
“We have the numbers that can make the 50%+1. We cannot pretend to say we are neutral for the 2024 elections to come and pass without the PNC making its position known. Monday’s meeting is going to be a crucial day for declaration. We will discuss and the majority will tell us where they would want us to throw our support to.
“From now to Monday, the party is open for engagements. Anybody who has the interests of one vote, two votes, the million votes of the PNC, we are open for talks”
