The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is stepping up to immortalise its founder, the late former President Jerry John Rawlings, as they proposed to embed his legacy into the party’s institutional identity.
The National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah announced at the 46th anniversary of the June 4 uprising, held at Agormanya Lasi Park in the Eastern Region that the party’s Functional Executive Committee (FEC) has approved a series of proposals, pending ratification by the National Executive Committee (NEC), to honour Rawlings’ towering influence.
Top among these is the renaming of the party’s national headquarters to “Jerry Rawlings House.”
Asiedu Nketiah declared that, “Party headquarters across the world are named after their founders. Ghana cannot be an exception. We will begin the process to rename our national headquarters as Rawlings House,”
He also disclosed plans to amend the party’s constitution to designate June 22, Rawlings’ birthday, as a significant party day.
The entire month of June is proposed to be commemorated annually as “NDC Month.”
