The People’s National Convention (PNC) has officially requested that the Electoral Commission (EC) not give the final certificate of registration for the People’s National Party (PNP).
The party and its lawyers argue that the term PNP, as the precursor party that gave rise to the PNC, is remarkably similar to the PNC.
They argue that this similarities may confuse voters.
“The use of the palm nut tree as an emblem for the newly formed party PNP will further confuse the electorates leaving them to believe that the PNC and PNP are one and the same.”
“Since the executives of the PNP are former executives of the PNC, together with the history between the erstwhile PNP and PNC earlier canvassed, it will leave no doubt in the minds of electorates that the new PNP and PNC are one and the same,” the statement read.
