The Northern regional chairman of the People's National Convention (PNC), Major Jetuma Alhassan (RTD) said on Thursday that the party's collaboration with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the second round presidential election is not an electoral alliance.
"The exercise is not an alliance between the PNC and NPP and should not raise doubts in the minds of party supporters to cause apathy on voting day (December 28)'', he said at a press conference by the party in Tamale.
Major Alhassan said the decision of the national executive of the PNC to support the NPP presidential candidate Mr. John Agyekum Kufuor in the presidential re-run, will contribute to the process of democratic change of government.
He exhorted all registered voters to vote massively for Mr. Kufuor as the only way to effect a positive change and to save Ghana from imminent economic collapse and its attendant poverty and suffering.
A leading member of the PNC, Mr Edward Dramani Mahami, said the party's decision to support Mr. Kufuor is a limited objective and not intended to win political favours from the NPP.
