\"Ghana\u2019sGhana\u2019s Ambassador to the Check Republic Emmanuel Victor Smith has described comments by the NDC party founder Jerry John Rawlings on BBC as unfortunate. He was however quick to add that there is no cause for alarm.<\/p>\n

The former aid to the Ex-president said the party need not panic over the interview but stay strong to prepare for the general elections.<\/p>\n

Former president Rawlings boomed on BBC yesterday when he predicted doom for the party in the general elections following the Sunyani congress which many experts have described it as critical to the National Democratic Congress.<\/p>\n

This is the first public pronouncement of the former president after his wife\u2019s defeat in Sunyani.<\/p>\n

He told the BBC that the government which orchestrated the hooting at the congress will pay for it.<\/p>\n

However Ambassador Smith believes the statement by the former president was borne out of pain of losing in Sunyani.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rawlings strongly rejected insinuations that he had taken party as a family property, snapping, that could only be the thought of \u201clittle minds.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if he and his wife will campaign for the NDC, he said they have taken a break to do what he described as serious thinking.<\/p>\n

Mr Smith down played the possibility of the party founder leaving the party as speculated by some people.<\/p>\n
