NDC to hold vigil in memory of Rawlings on Sunday

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has scheduled Sunday, November 15, 2020, for a special vigil in memory of the late former President of Ghana, Jerry John Rawlings.

The event is billed to take place at the Obra Spot in the capital, Accra from 5 pm to 12:00 midnight.

The party will “begin the funeral activities for the founder immediately and continue through till his burial.”

It added: “Party offices will also be draped in red and black, and party flags will fly at half-mast during our period of mourning.”

The Political Committee in its meeting on Friday also directed that all regions, constituencies, and branches should organize appropriate funeral related activities at their various levels.

The party described its founder as one who “lived a simple life and abhorred ostentation of any sort. It is therefore the intention of the Party to organise funeral related activities in line with his long-cherished ideals and the principles he stood for.”

A statement signed by the General Secretary, Johnson Aseidu Nketia, said:“The NDC is in deep shock following the sudden demise of our founder Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings, former President of the Republic of Ghana. We honour the life of this bold, courageous, and outspoken icon who was driven by a deep love for his country and the downtrodden.”

The party will open books of condolences at the NDC National Headquarters, Regional Offices, and constituency offices.
