The National Party for a New Central Africa ( French: Parti National pour la Nouvelle Afrique Central, PNCN) is a political party in the Central African Republic.
History
Established on 26 March 2004, [1] the party joined the National Convergence "Kwa Na Kwa" alliance for the 2005 general elections. [2] The alliance won 42 seats, of which the PNCN won seven. [2] Following the elections, the PNCN's Cyriaque Gonda was appointed Minister of Communication and National Reconciliation in 2009. [3]
Several Kwa Na Kwa factions merged into a single political party in August 2009, but the PNCN remained a separate party. In April 2010 Gonda was removed from the cabinet after President François Bozizé accused him of embezzling money meant for disarmament campaigns. [4]
In late 2010 the party joined the Presidential Majority alliance in preparation for the 2011 general elections. [5] The PNCN nominated 47 candidates for the 105 seats in the National Assembly, [6] winning one of the alliance's 11 seats.
