“Rawlings failed to vote for the NDC in the 2016 general election
and it was the wish of Rawlings to see the NDC lose 2020 general,” the Secretary-General
of the National Democratic Party (NDP) has said.
According to
Alhaji Mohammed Frimpong, the late former President Jerry John Rawlings wanted
to see the National Democratic Congress (NDC) lose the 2020 general elections.
Rawlings
believed that Mahama and his cohort have departed from the principles of
probity and accountability, he said.
Addressing the
press in Accra on Monday, November 23, 2020, he said the founder of the NDC
revealed that the motive of Mahama for running as a presidential candidate was
not to win the presidential seat in 2020 but in 2024.
“According to J.J, Mahama’s intentions are not to win
the 2020 election but to hijack the NDC with his money so that he leads the
party in 2024,” he said.
Earlier, reports stated that the flagbearer of the
NDP, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings has pulled out of the 2020 elections.
But Alhaji Mohammed Frimpong rubbished the reports
and said its presidential candidate has not stepped down.
“This is fake news and it should be regarded as such, Our
leader has not had any link to that effect,” he added.
