NDC NY Commends Rawlings

NDC NEW YORK COMMENDS FORMER PRESIDENT RAWLINGS FOR HIS DECISION TO JOIN

ITS CAMPAIGN

We of the NDC New York, send our great commendation to our founder, former

President Rawlings for his wise decision to join our campaign towards

December, 7th, 2012 elections, after restoring much confidence in the able

leadership role of President Mahama thus far.

This is better late than never, and is a clear indication that, in unity

lies strength. It is crystal clear that, nobody can underestimate the

God-given charm and charisma of former President Rawlings. That is why the

desperate Nana Akufo Addo was trying to use the divide and rule tactics of

influencing the former first lady, Nana Konadu Agymang Rawlings to form a party,

whose congress was banckrolled by the NPP. That could be clearly seen as

well in his bizzare visit to our founder, all in a bid to sway his mind from

his party that he fought hard to form over the years.

We also extol him for urging the NDP parliamentary candidates to withraw

in the race, in order to pave way for the NDC to maintain a commanding

majority in parliament.

Just like former President Bill Clinton, whose charismatic influence has

impacted the campaign of President Obama, leading to his historic

re-election yesterday, former President Rawlings appearance on our campaign platform

will also have a boomrang impact on our electoral fortunes, leading to a

decisive victory for President Mahama in four weeks to come.

It will not be out of place for the NDC to win, because we have much

things in common with the Democrats, which is the most racially diverse party in

America, while the NDC also prides itself to be the most ethnically

diverse party in Ghana. And on the personal level, President Obama has a lot of

things in common with President Mahama. Some of these qualities are

humility, honesty, sagacity, tolerance and youthful exuberance among many.

We therefore warn the NPP and Nana Akufo Addo to brave themselves for an

unprecedented and overwhilming victory on December, 7th, 2012.

Husseini Y. Baba AlWaiz, Press Secretary, NDC, New York.
