Provisional National Defence Council

The seven original members of the PNDC from its inception were as follows:

• Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings - Chairman
• Brigadier Joseph Nunoo-Mensah - retired Chief of Defence Staff
• Reverend Dr. Vincent Kwabena Damuah
• Warrant Officer I Joseph Adjei Buadi
• Sergeant Daniel Alolga Akata Pore
• Joachim Amartey Quaye
• Chris Bukari Atim

Brigadier Nunoo-Mensah, who had been retired by the Limann government, was recalled as Chief of Defence Staff and the second-in-command of the PNDC. Reverend Damuah was an outspoken priest of the Roman Catholic Church in Ghana. Joachim Amartey Quaye was a labour leader who led a strike at the Ghana Industrial Holding Corporation (GIHOC) and was removed by Hilla Limann's government. Chris Bukari Atim was a student leader and friend of Jerry Rawlings. Adjei Buadi and Akata Pore were junior ranks in the Ghana Air Force.{{cite journal |title=COUNCIL NAMED TO RULE GHANA |journal=The New York Times |date=13 January 1982 |page=3 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/01/13/world/council-named-to-rule-ghana.html |access-date=28 September 2021 |issn=0362-4331}}

Over the years, some people were added to the membership and others left. A number left in 1982 due to ideological differences. Joachim Amartey Quaye was executed for his involvement in the murder of three senior judges and a retired army officer. Rev. Damuah who was suspended from the Catholic Church because of his involvement in the government left in late 1982 and started his own church later called the Afrikania Mission, an organization devoted to the promotion of African Traditional Religion.{{cite web|url=http://ospiti.peacelink.it/anb-bia/nr444/e05.html |title=Ghana - Libation issue rears up again |access-date=2010-07-22 |publisher=African News Bulletin |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110526134940/http://ospiti.peacelink.it/anb-bia/nr444/e05.html |archive-date=2011-05-26 }}
