Janet Nabla, the founder and leader of the newly established People’s National Party (PNP), has made it clear that the party does not want members from the People’s National Convention (PNC) to join them.
This announcement follows the PNC’s objections to the Electoral Commission (EC) issuing a final registration certificate to the PNP.
In a letter submitted to the EC on July 16, the PNC expressed concerns about potential voter confusion due to the similarities in the names and symbols of the two parties.
However, in an interview on Eyewitness News, Janet Nabla, formerly the General Secretary of the PNC, emphasized that the PNP is a new party with distinct values and identity, and they do not want any members from the PNC to join them.
“What I am saying is that Mr. Apasara, work hard with your PNC, we have nothing in common. Our party’s symbol and things are different. The truth is that we don’t want anybody from the PNC to come to us, that is the truth.
“Because we know the challenges of the PNC and when you have a new party, you will want to work with people who love the truth and transparency; those are the people we want to work with. Believe me, those who love the PNC now cannot qualify to be under those brackets I have just mentioned,” she stated.
