Ghana\u2019s Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Emmanuel Victor Smith has described comments by the NDC party founder, Jerry John Rawlings, on BBC as unfortunate.<\/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 on BBC Thursday predicted grave consequences for the ruling party in the general elections as a result of fallouts from the party’s Sunyani congress.<\/p>\n
This is the first public pronouncement of the former president after his wife and former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings lost the race to lead the NDC as flagbearer.<\/p>\n
He told the BBC that the government orchestrated the unfortunate hooting of Nana Konadu at the congress and 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 the party as a family property, saying 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<\/div>\n
