The ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) youth activist and a loyalist of former President Jerry John Rawlings, Mr. Ras Mubarak, has said the just ended flagbearership contest between former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings and President John Evans Atta Mills has nothing to do with the popularity of the former President.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have heard some of the most ridiculously wild, unscientific and hugely flawed arguments made by commentators about the influence of former President Rawlings on the party he founded following the inability of his \u201cdouble sweetheart\u201d \u2013 Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings \u2013 to win the ruling party\u2019s presidential primaries despite a gallantry showing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He continued that some of those claims are that President Rawlings\u2019 hand in the NDC has been hugely weakened, that the party has finally purged itself from the overbearing influence of its founder.
\u201cOthers have suggested that, Rawlings\u2019 influence in the ruling party is at an all-time low, and that the former President has been cut down to size. I think these analysis are at best insincere,\u201d he added in a press statement he has issued.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe contest between Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings and President Mills was not about the popularity of Jerry Rawlings in the NDC; the election was never about how much of a stranglehold the former President has in the NDC and the result can certainly never be a verdict on Rawlings\u2019 popularity in the party or country at large,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
