Founder of ruling National Democratic Congress, (NDC) former President Jerry John Rawlings yesterday cast complete doubts about the prospect of President John Evans Atta Mills winning a second term mandate in the upcoming December 7 polls. Mr. Rawlings said even though he had wished his party would win the election, development in the country with respect to President Mills� leadership pointed clearly to the fact that the NDC was already �in the ditch� even before the December polls. The NDC founder minced no words when he indicated that President Mills would not be successful in his second term bid against Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), insisting it would not be possible for President Mills to win the election against Nana Akufo-Addo when he and his functionaries were running away from the values of June 4. �I will very much wish that my party will win, but how can you win; how can you beat Nana Akufo-Addo of the NPP when you are rejecting the values of June 4?� he stressed. He described President Mills as the pilot of the plane that crashed at the weekend; stressing: �the weather was bad; the pilot ought to have known his limits and not land without the needed experience.�
