Confirmed! Konadu Joins NDP

It is now confirmed that former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings is behind the formation of the National Democratic Party (NDP), a breakaway party from the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The core supporters of the NDP are disgruntled members of the NDC.

The NDP has also rubbished media reports that NDC founder, former President Jerry John Rawlings, would be campaigning for the ruling party, saying that he was in the boat of the breakaway party.

Even though Nana Konadu continues to remain tight-lipped over whether or not she was behind the new party, initial speculations had linked her as the brain behind the NDP without any concrete proof.

However, Mrs. Rawlings has been captured on an audio recording conscientising NDP faithful, telling them why they needed to join the new party to chart a new course.

The former First Lady is believed to have made these and other comments during a meeting with NDP sympathisers at the SSNIT Hall in Kumasi when she visited the Ashanti Region somewhere last week.

The NDP presidential hopeful is expected to begin her Brong Ahafo regional tour soon as part of the party’s attempt at winning more souls.
