It is my hope that Dr. Edward Mahama and the new crop of National Officers will bring their wealth of experience to bear in steering the affairs of the PNC, and, also, help in shaping the political discourse, from one of personality attacks to a competition of policies and ideas, ahead of next yearâs election. This will help to reinforce the peace and stability of our nation.
I wish them well.
God bless our democracy, God bless Ghana.
