EGLE denies merging with PNC

The National Executive Council of the EGLE Party on Friday denied merging with the Peoples National Convention (PNC). A statement signed by Mr Benjamin Bediako, National Organizer and Publicity Officer, said as a registered political party such major decisions could only be taken in accordance with the Party's Constitution at a National Delegates' Conference and not by a single individual in any capacity.

The statement said that Mr Danny Ofori-Atta, who announced the merger, was not a member of the National Executive Council and that the position he had assumed as Chairman of the Council was only an honorary and advisory one following the death of Sheikh Ibrahim Armatey. It added that the role did not bestow on him the legal right or moral authority to single-handedly enter into an alliance or speak on behalf of the Party.

The statement, therefore, asked the public to ignore any announcement and urged the Leadership of the PNC to respect the Constitution of the Party as it also recognised its mandate and respected it as a political party.

Meanwhile the Eagle Party would hold its National Delegates' Congress to discuss the external and political relations of the party and constitutionally approve any decision taken.
