Former President Jerry John Rawlings is joining the campaign trail of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). His aide Kofi Adams confirmed to Asempa FM, Tuesday that the former President's decision to join the campaign of the NDC follows a meeting he held with former National Executives and senior members of the party. Mr. Rawlings - who fell out with the party he founded in 2009 following some disagreements with the late President John Mills - said he wants to take part in the December campaigns after witnessing some changes under the leadership of President John Mahama, Kofi Adams said. He indicated that Mr. Rawlings will not sit back and watch the party he founded go into the abyss. Kofi Adams stated that the former President will do anything within his power to ensure the NDC win the December general elections. Asked how Mr. Rawlings will deal with the backlash from the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kofi Adams said “we are ready for anything the opposition will do”. “Former president Rawlings’ criticisms were to strengthen the NDC [therefore] we will not be distracted by what the opposition does,” he added.
