Former President Jerry John Rawlings has pledged to support his wife, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings if she accepts to represent the National Democratic Party (NDP) as its Presidential candidate. In an exclusive interview with Citi News, the NDC founder stated that the former first lady needs all the support she can get due to her experiences on the Ghanaian political terrain. He said: �To be quite honest, when you�ve walked in the shoes she has been through in 1979 etc, you might probably do what she is doing. I will support her as I do a good number of candidates.� Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings on Monday picked up forms to contest the flagbearership position of the National Democratic Party (NDP). Reliable information available to Citi News indicated that she bought her forms on Monday afternoon and expressed her willingness to keenly contest the position being fought for by three other unnamed persons. Former President Rawlings has however advised her to resign from the NDC if �she intends to stand for the leadership of the other party, I guess it might be wise for her to resign.� He pointed out however that his support will go to any party with a high level of credibility and integrity, �and that I know they [NDP] have but that does not mean that I believe in the NDC either. But I am more in favour of parties that have high moral principles.�
