The raging debate as to whether former first lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings will contest the ticket for the NDC presidential candidate seems to have taken a new twist as a website endorsing the former first lady’s bid has been outdoored.Latest information gathered by The Chronicle indicates the website was designed by the controversial group, Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings (FONKAR) who in recent past have embarked on campaign tactics to project the former first lady as the viable option for the NDC presidential candidate in the 2012 general elections.The website, www.fonkar.org has a large portrait of Nana Konadu with the slogan “Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings…The Presidential Candidate for 2012” boldly scripted next to the portrait.The website also catalogues the various schools the NDC founder's wife attended, and her political achievements. Part of the CV reads: "As first lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings accompanied her husband, President Jerry John Rawlings, on official and state visits. In 1995, she travelled with President Rawlings on his extensive tour of the United States to promote investment and trade.As part of the visit, President Rawlings and Mrs. Rawlings were awarded honorary degrees from the Lincoln University, alma mater of Ghana's first President, Kwame Nkrumah. Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings was awarded an honorary doctorate degree in Social Science by a University in Pennsylvania for her exemplary work in championing the cause of women empowerment."All attempts by The Chronicle to contact the General Secretary of the NDC, Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia, to ascertain whether the out-dooring of the website to promote Konadu's 2012 presidential agenda contravenes party rules and regulations proved futile, as his mobile phone had been switched off.Mr. Kofi Adams, who speaks for the Rawlingses, could also not be reached on his phone.Though President Mills has publicly declared his intention to seek re-election, the founder and his wife appear not to be amused, and have resorted to underground work to torpedo him.Mr. Rawlings has on many occasions harshly criticised the President for failing to jail former New Patriotic Party (NPP) functionaries.Mills has also come to state that as a Professor of law, he had no power to send the said functionaries to jail, without taking them through the due process of the law.The Chronicle is keeping an eagle eye on the drama as it unfolds, and will keep readers informed.Source: Chronicle
