"NDC Cannot Win 2012 Without Rawlings"

The Northern Region media analysts group of National Democratic Congress has called on the party�s leadership to take immediate steps to invite the founder Jerry John Rawlings to lead the elections 2012 campaigns. The group is convinced that the NDC cannot win the 2012 general elections without the Rawlings� playing an active role in the 2012 campaigns, hence the need for the leadership to include them on the campaign trail. In a congratulatory message issued and copied to Citi News, Baba Musah Secretary to the Northern Region NDC media analysts group thanked the delegates for overwhelmingly endorsing President John Evans Atta Mills� candidature to lead the party to victory in 2012. He said the delegates decision at the just ended congress in Sunyani meant that President Mills was on track and deserved a second chance to accomplish his unfinished Better Ghana agenda. Baba Musah called the need to abolish the numerous support groups that emerged in the run-up to the congress with the popular ones being the Get Atta Mills Endorsed and Friends of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings. He noted that such groupings were no longer necessary for which reason members of those groupings should disintegrate and rekindle their loyalty to the NDC for victory in 2012. Baba Musah commended Hon. Teye Nyaunu, national campaign coordinator for FONKAR for being bold to come out and announce his unflinching support for President Mills if he invited him to help him retain power in 2012. He also thanked all the major stakeholders such as the Electoral Commission, the security agencies, the NDC leadership at all levels, the media and residents of Sunyani for making the congress a violence free event.
