The NEC is expected to brief the Council of Elders under the Chairmanship of Founder and ex-President Jerry John Rawlings on what informed their decision and chart the way forward for the party.
Though the window for the purchase of the nomination forms elapsed yesterday, some of the aspirants that couldn't pick their forms believe this meeting will offer them a second chance.
