Former first lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings says she will guide her daughter, Zenator Rawlings in her political career but she will not campaign for her on a National Democratic Congress platform.
“Maybe I won’t stand on her platform, but I will give her the meanderings of how to get to her destination”, she said.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show Tuesday, she said she is not going back to the NDC because the issues that made her leave the party have not been addressed.
Mrs. Rawlings broke ranks with the ruling NDC two years ago. According to her she accepted to be the leader of the National Democratic Party, NDP after the party was formed.
She returned from a trip outside the country and was informed of the party’s ideologies. Nana Konadu says she accepted the offer to lead the party ahead of the 2012 Presidential elections.
She was disqualified in the 2012 election by the Electoral Commission (EC) due to late filing of nomination forms but sources in the party claim she intends to make a second bid to presidency.
While this remains to be confirmed, her daughter, Zenator is in the race to win the NDC parliamentary primaries for the Korle-Klottey constituency come November 7.
The daughter of former President Jerry John Rawlings and Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings is seeking to unseat the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP), Nii Armah Ashittey.
Already the founder of NDC, J.J Rawlings has endorsed his daughter to win the seat at her campaign launch.

Zanetor is the first child born to Jerry John Rawlings on June 1st 1978. Her name – meaning ‘Let the night stop’ in his mother tongue Ewe, symbolized, to J.J. Rawlings, a call to end the current economic and social malaise that Ghana was undergoing
“She does not have selfish tendencies, she is a selfless person and that is why I love and respect her so pleases vote for her”, he told electorates.
But the former member of the NDC and mother of Zenator said she would have had a different opinion about her running as a parliamentary candidate on the ticket of the NDC, she would have said something different.
“But she took her decision and I think that she is entitled to that decision...She is an adult and she’s grown up in an open house”.
The Former First Lady said her family is an open minded family that accepts critique, correction and support and that is why her daughter was allowed to make her decision to contest a seat in the NDC.
