Let's be consistent with our principles like NPP and defeat them in 2020 - Rawlings

The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been consistent in holding its values, former President Jerry John Rawlings has said.

He was speaking to a gathering at the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Ashaiman in Accra.

“The NPP are not so vulnerable. Whether you pump money into them, you try to corrupt them or not, there is a certain consistency by virtue of who and what they are and that figure, in terms of election could invariably always be the same. You and I do not have the consistency of the NPP . We have a different type of consistency but we appear unable to hold on to that consistency.’’

According to ‘Mr. Boom’ as some people call him, he charged the NDC to identify its weakness and work on them since that will be the only to wrestle power form the ruling NPP.

“…We have some potential strong and powerful that we could virtually win every election all the time if we recognized our strengths and dealt with our weaknesses and because of that certain powers have been vested in certain personalities to do business and to do politics in this country in order to take away from you in the NDC so that they will be a better balance.”

He also urged them to pursue unity and work hard towards victory in the next polls.

“…Unity is a beautiful sound, and I would like to hear that. But unity comes at a price; and it is not asking for plenty of money. It is only asking for integrity, truthfulness and sincerity. We must come clean. Let’s come clean. That’s the only way some of us know how to live.’’
