Former President Jerry John Rawlings and founder of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on the party to "pray to God" for President John Dramani Mahama to have the courage to take some very bold decisions. Taking his turn to address party members gathered at the Jubilee Park in Ho for the launch of the party's Manifesto or Policy Statement for the next four years, the former president said President Mahama needs to kick out some �negative people around him�. He said: �There is nothing more oppressive than when a political leader refuses to see the actions of negative elements around him and there is nothing more rewarding than when a political leader refuses to see the negative action of these people. I believe the President is beginning to see the action of these same old evil dwarfs. The president needs help and we must pray to God to give him the strength and courage to put his foot down and do what he needs to do�.�
