FONKAR Gives Sure Bankers to Konadu

Single 3-1-90

BY AYISHETU SULLEY,Daily Democrat

The outcome of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) congress last Saturday has

vindicated critics of Nana Konadu who believed her campaign team was made up of

some gold diggers who were out to milk her.

According to critics, the tantrums and bragging of Owusu Bempah, the wild

allegations and propaganda of Herbert Mensah, the Dela Kofi and Kofi Adams’

divided loyalty could only secure for Nana Konadu votes that could best be

described as ‘Lotto Number’ for a Saturday draw,90 out of total 2861 votes,

representing 3.1%.

Pre-congress utterances by Friends of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings (FONKAR) has

predicted 65-67% victory for the candidate but she could not cross a 5% mark.

They also promised to re-write Professor Mills ‘political obituary’ because of

his defeat and shock.

Though the pre-voting environment at Coronation Park on Saturday morning was

reason enough to see Konadu’s defeat, the 90 votes was too heartbreaking for

Konadu and followers.

It is now obvious that most of the followers of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings who

were making pre-congress resolutions were mere supporters and not delegates.

Nana Konadu, who has no choice but to accept defeat is compelled to join the

winning Mills team to celebrate victory and rally together against the

opposition.

Konadu, though defeated has made name in the political history of Ghana as the

first woman to contest for the position of flagbearer and more importantly

contesting a sitting president.

Observers believe 2016 could have been a better period for such decision and

wished her better luck next time.
