“Indeed, the point is for John Mahama to determine whether he wants to appoint somebody from the PNC, the NPP, or any other place. Failing to do that, it is his burden to carry,” Mr. Mornah remarked. He noted that the PNC has always played a significant role in governance, whether or not its members held government positions. “The PNC remains a resolute political party.

We have a duty to critique and to support government policies and programs where the need is, and so we will continue to play our role,” he stated. Reflecting on the party’s history, Mr. Mornah pointed out, “It is not the first time a PNC member has been in government.

Under President John Kufuor, PNC members served in his government; under President John Atta Mills, PNC members served; in fact, in the first term of President John Mahama, PNC members served in his government.” He further explained the PNC’s decision to support the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the last elections, clarifying that it was not about seeking appointments.

“Obviously, the PNC took a solid decision to back the NDC to ensure that we were able to get change. But that is not to say that the NDC is under compulsion to appoint us,” he clarified. Concluding his remarks, Mr. Mornah expressed a pragmatic view on appointments.

“If you appoint us, it is good; but if you don’t appoint us, probably, it’s even better,” he said, emphasizing that the PNC’s mission goes beyond holding government positions. The PNC remains committed to contributing to Ghana’s progress by actively engaging in national discourse and supporting policies that benefit the populace.
