The former spokesperson for the defunct Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) Major Rtd. Boakye Djan says the Mills administration will win the December elections without the contributions of NDC founder Jerry John Rawlings.

According to him, the Mills-led administration has done a lot to deserve a second term in office.

Ex President Rawlings on Sunday at a June 4 rally at Aflao slammed the ruling NDC and stated that the party had already lost the 2012 elections.

He added that President Mills had failed Ghanaians and has led the country into a ditch.

But addressing a seperate June 4th rally at Atebubu in the Brong Ahafo region to clearly demonstrate that the rift between Mr. Rawlings and his former confidante was not ending anytime soon, Mr. Boakye Djan stated that the NDC do not need Rawlings to win an election.

He also rejected suggestions by the former President that the government will lose the December elections because it has rejected the ideals of the NDC.

“We are going to win the elections next time and other times no matter what”, Mr Djan said.

Mr. Djan also added that he made Rawlings a ceremonial head of State after the June 4 uprising while he was in charge of affairs. “I made Rawlings the ceremonial Head of State and a chairman and I became the head of government, I represent the official spokesman, so I was totally in charge” He added.
