Rawlings’ Support For His Wife’s Party Will Not Affect The NDC – Political Science Lecturer

A Political Science Lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr Kwasi Amakye-Boateng, has stated that the absence of the NDC founder, Jerry John Rawlings at the party’s manifesto launch will not affect the NDC in any way.

According to him, J.J Rawlings’ invitation and subsequent acceptance as the guest speaker at the outdooring of the NDP’s flagbearer, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings who is also his wife, doesn’t mean he has frustrated the NDC.

Mr Rawlings is said to have informed his party that he will not be able to attend the launch of their manifesto scheduled for Monday, 7th September 2020.

But Dr. Amakye maintained the NDC would come out strong based on the theme and vision of their manifesto and how those contents relate to the needs and development of Ghanaians.

The Senior Lecturer at KNUST stated that, this is an era where ideas contest ideas hence, media coverage of NDP’s congress would not impact the manifesto launch of the NDC.

To him, whether one event outshines the other or not, is of little significance as opposed to the dominance of the issues being discussed at the said events.
