Kofi Adams can restore the ‘lost integrity’ of NDC – Rawlings

kofi_adams_rawlingsFormer President Jerry John Rawlings has emphasized the need for Kofi Adams to be elected as the National Organizer by the delegates of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to help the party regain its “lost integrity.” “I wish I could keep him with me for us to do a lot of work together, but I think the party needs him more than I do. My integrity is still intact, it is the party that has lost its integrity or some members of the leaders that require some people like Kofi to go and increase the quality,” he opined. Kofi Adams is contesting the position against incumbent, Yaw Boaten Gyan and Aboagye Didieye.

Speaking on Eye Witness News on Thursday the former President said Kofi Adams “enjoys a lot of respect among a lot of the delegates and the party in general. That’s the very reason that I also hold him in high regard.”

Kofi Adams in an earlier interview with Citi News said this bid to contest the position is to save the party and that most of the elders in the party support him.

Jerry John Rawlings further endorsed two persons contending for the National Chairmanship Position in the party claiming “Huudu [Yahaya] and [Kofi] Porturphy are the two leading candidates and I hope the bedrock of the two would win and those who would even lose would give one who will win the necessary support.”

On the NDC’s Greater Accra Regional elections, the former President tipped Stephen Akwetey who is contending with incumbent Ade Coker, Daniel Amartey and Henry Ekow Manly-Spain for the Chairmanship position.

“…Akwetey may have slight lead over the other two, I could be wrong but that’s the decision the electorate would have to make however, the little I’ve heard of him has earned him my respect.  His quality of his integrity is something we need; it is something that we required in the new leadership especially in a place like Accra.”

The former president is of the view that  the current executives of the party in the Greater Accra Region have not performed satisfactorily after assuming office.
