FONKAR WANTS EX PRESIDENT JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS

Leaders of the Friends of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings (FONKAR) are planning to meet the former President, Jerry John Rawlings, to seek his approval to join the newly created National Democratic Party (NDP). In an interview, a leading member of the group, Ernest Owusu-Bempah revealed that FONKAR’s national and regional executives will be meeting with the former President because, the new party was formed based on his ideals. Mr. Bempah mentioned that at the end of the day we are looking at the values and principles of the new party that promises to rekindle the ideals and vision of Jerry John Rawlings - probity, accountability and social justice which is the bedrock of the NDC. He claimed some people at the Presidency are doing everything possible to stop the new party from contesting the December general elections. The Mills administration is panicking over the creation of the new party and this clearly shows the character traits of the Mills administration and that they are desperate, corrupt and they cannot pass the probity and accountability test, Owusu-Bempah added.
