Former President Jerry John Rawlings has said integrity has been “held hostage” in the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and has, thus, urged the party, to, in candour and truthfulness, seek answers to its loss in the December 2016 general elections.
On Thursday, 26 January, the founder of the NDC charged the Volta Regional caucus of the party in Parliament to restore integrity within the NDC, which he said had suffered.
“It has been ambushed and held hostage. The time has come to free the truth,” the ex-military leader told the caucus members when they called on him at his office.
Mr Rawlings called for sincerity in speech, thought and action as the party probes its loss. “The time to free the truth is now,” he said.
“What our supporters need is candour. If you want them to stay united, if you want them to be a little strong, all you can offer them now is candour. Don’t engage in political talk of the past,” he advised.
