The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has paid glowing tribute to the memory of its founder and Ghana’s former President, Flight Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings, on the fifth anniversary of his death.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, and signed by the party’s Director of Communications, Kakra Essamuah, the NDC said the party, together with admirers across the globe, continues to remember President Rawlings for his sterling contributions to the development and welfare of the Ghanaian people.
“As the party, the nation, and his numerous admirers worldwide remember him for his sterling contributions to the development and welfare of our people, we in the NDC remain assured that absolutely nothing will erase his legacy from the history of Ghana,” the statement read.
The party also expressed sadness over the recent passing of former First Lady, Her Excellency Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, noting that she is yet to receive the full honours of a befitting farewell for her contributions to the nation.
“In the long sweep of history, five years may appear short, but for us in the NDC, it has been five long years of mourning and sorrow. We shall always remember him,” the statement added.
The NDC prayed for the late President and his wife to rest peacefully, reaffirming their enduring respect for the couple’s legacy in Ghana’s political and social development.
