A Vice Chairperson of the National Democratic Congress, Anita Desosoo has urged founder of the NDC Jerry John Rawlings to cut his criticisms against the party since it can affect the electoral chances of his daughter Zanetor Rawlings.
According to Desosoo, the continuous outbursts and rants against the NDC by Rawlings can cause disaffection for Zanetor in her constituency.
“We cherish Rawlings so much because not all parties still have their founders alive. We love him so much and we want his children to also be part of us… [But] because of Rawlings utterances of late, people in the constituency of Zanetor Rawlings may not vote for her,” Desooso told Starr FM Monday.
Former President Rawlings has on several occasions attacked members of the NDC describing them as corrupt and people with no integrity.
In his latest rant against the party Mr. Rawlings stated that the party has a lot of great, good people with solid integrity but a lot of the party’s grip is in the hands of those who lack integrity.
In an address delivered at a Town Hall meeting of cadres and NDC activists at the Arts Centre in Accra on Saturday, Mr. Rawlings condemned the situation where media propagandists sponsored by some within the party deliberately twist the truth in what he says to court negativity towards him.
But according to Desooso, the former President must start begin to respect members of the party adding that enough is enough.
She, however, urged party members not to insult the former military ruler and continue to treat him with respect.
“What I can tell Rawlings is that he has trained us and we are doing our best. He needs to respect us and it’s about time we tell him enough is enough. Please founder we are not children anymore.
“Let’s not insult him as party members. We should as well respect him so as to prevent the issue happening in the NPP to happen within us.”

The problem with NDC has nothing to do with Rawlings or the daughter. You should realise that you are very greedy .You dont recognise the effort of others after gaining power . Even picking up phone calls from the very people who helped you and supported you all through is a problem all you care about is your wives and children . You are where you are because of greed . learn from the NPP , we need no angels from heaven to sound this into your ears . Please take lessons from the NPP when it comes to recognising contributions and think as a collective . If you think you will ever use any one again and go unpunished by losing elections then you must relocate to your own planet .
So what, De-so-so? If the party is formed is ROTTEN he shouldn't say? NDC now is the MOST CORRUPT ever in Ghana's history. Some people were KILLED during the P(NDC) for NOTHING!
So you are not interested in what the daughter can do but what the father has said? Then I think JJ is right in his assessment of the Party.
Rawlings shld pls let bygone be bygone. All the same, that doesnt mean he shld not talk about indiscipline and corrupt acts of some members of ndc. And it will not by any means affect his daughter. Rawlings shld pls forgive them and let their be reconciliation within the party, that is if the few arrogant ones among the ndc will allow. Without that,ndc can never taste power for life if they continue to ignore Rawlings and disrespect him.
what has NPP got to do with this, Papa J is right let him continue to fire more. corrupt, destroyers killers demon party.
I am not sure whether Rawlings doesn't know what he is doing. He knows what he says would make some NDC faithfuls angry. He is already in love with nana addo, therefore it's very stoopidid for cadres to meet him and still assume he loves NDC. If he did he couldn't have been speaking about old story of Hanna tetteh squeezing the hands of his wife. The wife is a liar, this never happened. Hana would never do that. I am sure Hanna would not mind him, he is simply being haunted by the ghosts of those he killed.
see whos talking.
