The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced that it will hold a meeting today, November 13 following the death of the party’s founder, Jerry John Rawlings.
Among other things, the meeting is to consider the next steps towards honouring the memory of the former President.
A statement signed by the party's flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, said the late statesman will be honoured with the same energy and love with which he led the country.
“His fight for social justice and the principles of probity and accountability led to major interventions that among others ended coup d’etats in Ghana.
“He is the Founder of our 4th Republic, which remains easily the longest period of stable, democratic governance in the history of our beloved country, Ghana,” the statement added.
