J. Rawlings says  the National Democratic Congress (NDC) won the 2008 elections because of  their faith and belief in the truth, justice, and their fair play.<br \/>\nHe  said even though the New Patriotic Party invested huge amounts of money  in the last elections,  the NDC beat them with virtually nothing. \u201cThis  is because of our belief in noble and human-centered values. Let us not  make the mistake of forgetting those values. If we do so, we will be  doing so at great cost,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nThe former President made these  remarks on Saturday, January 15, 2011 when he addressed fund-raising  celebrations of the Concerned Muslim Youth of Ghana at the Kanda  National Mosque project premises. He said it is not possible for anybody  to destroy the NDC because the party represents the conscience of the  people. President Rawlings said the only way the NDC could correct some  of the misdeeds of the NPP regime was to rehabilitate the NDC. \u201cWe must  clean up our own acts within the NDC.<br \/>\nThen, and only then, will  we have the courage to correct the misdeeds that Kufuor left behind,\u201d he  said. He said if the NDC did not clean up the mess left behind by  former President Kufuor, then, \u201cI am afraid things will not be that  healthy for us in this country\u201d.<br \/>\nSource: The Spectator<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President J.
