The ruling National Democratic Congress is calling for a peaceful resolution to the current impasse with the People’s National Convention.The PNC is threatening a breakaway from the majority side in Parliament after the ruling party allowed its parliamentary aspirants to begin early campaigning in constituencies where the PNC has sitting MPs.The NDC in a bid to take a commanding control of the next Parliament has opened nominations in orphan constituencies with aspirants engaging in thorough campaigns.The party has, meanwhile, banned any form of campaigns in constituencies which have sitting NDC MPs and will open nominations for interested aspirants to vie for the position next year.The ruling party’s ally - the PNC - feels betrayed and disrespected by that singular act of the NDC.Its General Secretary Bernard Mornah said given the relationship built between the two parties, the ruling party ought to have extended the same gesture it accorded its sitting MPs to the two PNC MPs.The two offered to sit on the majority side to prevent what could easily have been a hanged Parliament after a closely fought 2008 Presidential and Parliamentary elections in which the NPP won 108 seats, the NDC, 115, PNC, 2, CPP one seat with four independent MPs who somewhat owe allegiance to the NPP.Bernard Mornah said the NDC has been ungrateful to the PNC by allowing its aspirants to start early campaign in constituencies that have PNC MPs.But in a reaction, Propaganda Secretary of the NDC in an interview with Joy News regretted the incident but said the problem should be solved outside the public domain.He was disappointed with Mornah for taking the issue to the media when it could easily have been solved from within.He said his party will be convening a meeting on the matter and will issue a press release which would bring the matter to rest.He however assured the PNC of the NDC’s unflinching respect for the alliance they had entered into.
