Former President Jerry John Rawlings, the founder of the opposition National Democratic Congress has offered an analysis of how the Party who had gained massive goodwill from the Ghanaian populace in 2008 suddenly lost the elections by a wide margin in 2016.
Touching on what went wrong, former President Rawlings said the mass of political testosterone that swirled around the National Democratic Congress (NDC) victory in 2008 evaporated when the Mills government failed to thoroughly re-investigate political killings such as the assassination of the Yaa Naa and the death of Alhaji Issa Mobilla, then Northern Regional Chairman of the CPP.
Former President Rawlings said the refusal to reinstate truth, transparency and most of all justice into the fabric and psyche of the nation led to the institutionalization of crime and corruption, eventually resulting in NDC’s electoral loss of 2016.
According to the former President, the NDC was able to stay in power for about 19 years because they were always on the side of truth.
