Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, Flagbearer of the National Democratic Party has confirmed that she’s still in the Presidential race for this year’s polls despite her husband’s demise.

In a statement issued on her behalf by the chairman of the NDP, Alhaji Mohammed Frimpong, she noted that her long silence on the political scene after her husband’s demise does not mean she has lost interest in contesting.

She further noted that she is resuming her campaigning which she believes has been well coordinated by the party’s executives in her absence.

‘I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to the good people of Ghana for the warmth, support and genuine concern shown my children, the entire family and me in these very trying times following the loss of our dear father, husband, friend and confidant, the former President of Ghana, His Excellency Flight Lt. Jerry John Rawlings.”

“I also want to inform the people of Ghana of my decision to continue my campaign as the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Party, the Party I represent, in a respectful and yet sensitive manner which accords my dear husband and the Ghanaian society the necessary regard in line with our traditions and cultural norms.”

Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong has sent stern warning to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) who he claims are planning to foment trouble on December 7 that he is equally ready to match them boot for boot.

Speaking on Net2 TV, the legislator noted that the New Patriotic Party, unlike the 2008 elections where they were let down by security agencies will not rely on them this year.

He added that NDC is planning to attack NPP strongholds to intimidate voters however he has acquired two licensed guns to deal with any hoodlums.

“Politics have become very dirty. NDC have diabolic plans for the country and they plan to cause trouble. They said they’ll fight the soldiers and policemen at the polling stations. I have over 1000 men so we don’t care about the soldiers and police,” he was quoted by Ghanaweb.

“They said about 30 metres in the NPP strongholds, they will start firing guns. Anyone who doesn’t like peace in the country will be gunned down. It will not be like the 2008 elections when they said security broke down. I have licensed two guns and a pistol. That’s for me alone and I’m ready like Rambo,” he said on Net2.
