Former President J.J. Rawlings has sent a congratulatory message to former President John Mahama on his election as flagbearer and now leader of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
A statement signed by Head of Communications Directorate at the Office of the former president, Kobina Andoh Amoakwa, expressed delight at the "dignified manner" all the other aspirants conducted themselves and also for "accepting the results in a matured and good-natured manner".
He has asked the party's "grassroots to work together to re-embrace the NDC’s core principles in a bid to carve a positive message and image for the party".
Below is a copy of the statement.
My congratulations to former President J. D. Mahama on his election as the presidential candidate of the NDC.
My congratulations also go to all the other candidates for the dignified manner they conducted themselves throughout the process and for accepting the results in a mature and good-natured manner.
While congratulating ourselves as a party for a relatively smooth process, we have to remember that this is only the first step of the task to convince the larger Ghanaian electorate.
I urge the candidate, the party leadership and all the grassroots to work together to re-embrace the NDC’s core principles in a bid to carve a positive message and image for the party.
