A youth activist of the National Democratic Congress Ras Mubarak has apologized to President John Evans Atta Mills for unpleasant comments he may have made against him. Ras Mubarak who is a close ally to the Rawlingses, met President Mills this morning at the Castle, Osu, for a discussion and rendered the apology to him. The Norway-based youth activist of the NDC failed to secure the National Youth Organiser post of the party during the youth congress in Sunyani last year, which saw Ludwig Hlodze emerge winner. He then went to his base in Norway, where he played a major role overseas in Nana Konadu’s failed bid to secure the NDC flagbearership slot. He is now back in the country to contest for the NDC’s primaries in the Ablekuma North Constituency. Ras Mubarak wrote on his facebook wall that, “I had an exciting meeting with President Mills this morning. I thanked him for accepting to see me at such short notice and congratulated him on his re-election as my party's leader. I also made a personal apology for saying in the past I "would do everything to make sure he didn't win 2012." He was magnanimous. It is important for our party to build bridges and mend fences in order to advance the cause of Ghana”. He told Asempa News on Thursday that he feels the timing was right for him to apologise to the President as a step towards unifying the party, and in the interest of the nation. According to him, he has no regrets supporting the candidature of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings but feels the past must be put behind while “we focus on the future”.
