The People’s National Convention (PNC) has appealed to the Electoral Commission (EC) to withhold the final certificate for the registration of the People’s National Party (PNP).
In a statement issued to the EC on July 16, the PNC’s solicitors expressed concerns that the name PNP, being the predecessor party that gave rise to the PNC, is very similar to the PNC.
This similarity, they argue, could lead to confusion among 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.
