Former National Women’s Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Anita De Sosoo, has stated that the choice of the female vice presidential candidate for Mr. John Dramani Mahama was a decision made by the late former president Jerry John Rawlings.
She made this revelation to Berla Mundi on the New Day show on TV3, Tuesday January 26, in a tribute to the memory of the late former Ghanaian leader.
Debunking claims that the NDC was not on good terms with their Founder, Ms. De Sosoo said “before John Dramani Mahama chose Naana, it was J.J Rawlings who made that choice, he sent a list (of possible candidates) to him and he picked Naana”.
She also stated that every family has issues of their own, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) being no exception.
She said whatever problem they had in the past with the late former president Rawlings was reconciled long before the demise of their founder.
Commenting on the void that has been created by the death of Mr Rawlings, Ms. De Sosoo said “being the founder, if he’s no more, that doesn’t mean we should go and find somebody else to become founder again No! We have only one founder.
“If you have a father and your father is late, do you need to replace your father with somebody else? No! So we will still continue to admire him though he’s no more, and try to follow some of the good ideologies that he brought into the party, that’s the only thing I can say.”
She further pointed that “As a party we can never ever forget this man(Rawlings) because he’s the founder of the party even though he was a human, he’d erred some places or sometime but there’s nothing we can do, he’s more known in most of the African countries more than anybody in this country”
