A Former First Lady, , has appeared before the vetting committee of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to justify herself as a potential flag bearer of the party for the 2012 general election.<\/p>\n
Mrs Rawlings arrived at the NDC Headquarters flanked by members of the Friends of (FONKAR).<\/p>\n
The vetting, which started rather late as a result of the late arrival of the former First Lady, was held behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
After about an hour and a half of drilling and questioning, Mrs Rawlings emerged, ostensibly pleased with the process, with one exception.<\/p>\n
“It took a rather longer time than I expected,” she told the press.<\/p>\n
She added, however, that “the questions were fair”.<\/p>\n
According to her, the issues brought up by the six-member committee were based on “a way forward for the party”.<\/p>\n
She said her next steps were to continue with her tour of the country in preparation for the July 8 NDC congress to elect a flag bearer.<\/p>\n
The Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Mr Kofi Adams, who doubles as the Spokesperson for the Rawlingses, said the vetting process was a “mere formality” which had to be gone through to ensure that the various candidates were capable of leading the party to victory in the 2012 presidential election.<\/p>\n
He was of the belief that Mrs Rawlings was a “competent leader”.<\/p>\n
However, the occasion was not without controversy, as a misunderstanding broke out between two groups perceived to be from the camps of Mrs Rawlings and President Mills.<\/p>\n
Security men present, however, managed to calm the situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
