Kofi Adams, spokesperson of ex President Rawlings has dismissed a report suggesting that the Rawlingses have formed a new political party. Some media reports on Thursday suggested that Mr. Rawlings has abandoned the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) he founded to form a new political party called the �National Democratic Party�. The reports added that the ex-president�s men have been travelling across the country with the electoral commission's registration form to collect the necessary signatures towards certification of the party. However, Kofi Adams who was recently suspended by the leadership of the NDC for allegedly scheming to scuttle President Mills� second term bid dismissed the story in an interview on Joy News. He said the NDC has values and principles and the founder will continue to raise issues within the party that needs to be addressed. According to him, the founder of the party is not the one to leave a party that he has built but rather those who feel uncomfortable with those issues that will have to leave the party.
