The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is
set to hold a vigil in honour of late former President
Jerry John Rawlings.
The event is expected to come off tonight, at the
Obra Spot in Accra from 6 pm to 12:00 midnight.
The decision came after a closed-door meeting held by
the flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, and the Political Committee of the party.
In a statement giving more
details, General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia said the party is
committed to celebrating the life of its founder, Jerry John Rawlings.
The statement added that “party offices will also be
marked in red and black, and party flags will fly at half-mast during our
period of mourning.”
The party further directed all regions,
constituencies and branches to “organise appropriate funeral related activities
at their various levels.”
