Don’t Campaign For Mahama – MP Urges Rawlings
Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings has been
challenged to stay away from lending support to
the re-election efforts of President John Mahama
as the 2016 elections approach.

The Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri,
Frank Annoh-Dompreh, dared Ghana’s
longest-serving head of state as he addressed
party supporters on Saturday October 22 in his
constituency.

He called on Mr Rawlings to prove his
statesmanship and stand by the principles of
probity and accountability he espoused during the
two decades he ruled the country by campaigning
against the president and governing National
Democratic Congress (NDC) flag bearer for the
December 7 polls, John Mahama.

According to Mr Annoh-Dompreh, the former
president’s previous admission that some 60 per
cent of President Mahama’s appointees are
corrupt is enough reason for him to stick to his
famous principles and denounce the NDC candidate
in the upcoming polls.

“I am reminding former President Rawlings of the
principles of probity and accountability he drew
on to order the execution of some corrupt persons
[during his years as Ghana’s military ruler],”
he said.

“Today, the former president has admitted that
60 per cent of President Mahama’s appointees are
corrupt. Based on this, I challenge the former
president to denounce NDC flag bearer John Mahama
because of his corrupt appointees and, instead,
campaign for Nana Akufo-Addo.”
