One of the three is Dr Edward Nasigri Mahama, who was the party’s presidential candidate in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008.

Also to be reckoned with is the party’s presidential candidate in the 2012 elections, Mr Hassan Ayariga, who has already started his campaign for the position with a tour of the country.

Mr Edward Mahama is yet to officially declare his intention to contest, but a group, made up of past and present PNC Executives who visited him at his residence in Accra recently said they were confident he was going to seek the position again to save the PNC from collapse.

The latest to join the race is Dr Michael Mensah-Bonsu, the chairman of the party from 2004 to 2008 who is currently based in Canada.

An aspiring National Chairman of the party, Mr Abu Sadiq Kwashie-Ebla, is a member of a group of frontline activists of the party who are rooting for Dr Mensah-Bonsu to become the leader and presidential candidate of the party in next year’s elections.
