The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has pledged its commitment to ensuring that the founder of the party, Jerry John Rawlings is given a befitting burial.

This was announced by former President and current presidential candidate of the party, John Dramani Mahama, after a closed-door meeting with the party's political committee.

The party has since suspended its political activities following Mr Rawlings' demise.

Mr Mahama and other staunch members of the party have also expressed grief over the death of Mr Rawlings.
