The only body of the party which has more powers than the National Committee is the National Convention when properly constituted.  The National Committee is constituted by members of the National Executive Committee, All regional Chairmen, Regional Representatives, and Members of the Council of Elders. It meets once in a month to review party performance and offer direction as to how the party must move.

The PPP currently has 13 National Executives and these executives constitute the NEC.  The NEC principally is responsible for implimenting NC decisions as well as the day to day administration of the party. The NEC reports to NC and takes further policy directions from the NC when the need arises.
