A communications team member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has revealed the party did not invite its founder, Jerry John Rawlings to its manifesto launch at Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo region.
Ametor Quarmyne explained that, the leadership left ex-president out of the very important occasion on the party’s calendar because “we didn’t want to bother him”. His comment comes after Mr. Rawlings on Saturday failed to attend the launching of the party’s manifesto for the December 7, elections.
The 80-page document titled: "Changing Lives, Transforming Ghana" according to President John Mahama has the best plan for the development of Ghana as it was birthed from the ideology and constitution of the party. But the absence of the NDC’s founder who signed the party’s first manifesto with his blood created anxiety among party members who see him [Rawlings] as their messiah.
This is because, the former President always attends the ruling party's manifesto launches to most importantly declare his unflinching support to their candidate ahead of such a crucial elections.
The same sentiments as expressed by New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong on Asempa FM programme Tuesday.
But Ametor Quarmyne in response said the party deliberately left their founder out since he can not necessarily be at all party functions due to old age.

In spite of his age, Rawlings is 10 times stronger than you, Ametor
Ametor, I don't expect a man of your age to continue to lie. You're old so earn the respect of we the young ones. If you don't take care and refrain from such statement, your own children will begin to disrespect you. What will money take you to. You are nearing your grave so stop the lies and the mouth of people will prolong your stay on early. As the saying that what is written in heaven is written on earth.
Oh pleasssee! stop the insults. The man is a confused man. You cannot invite a Man to his own daughter's wedding. And if this is the way you really look, looking at your picture now, I really will conclude that, symptoms of old age is fast catching on you. RAWLINGS SHALL ALWAYS REMAIN RAWLINGS IRRESPECTIVE, and Mahama will definitely FALL because he cannot re-write our history, dent in false ascension to the PRESIDENCY, mixed with shedding of innocent blood.
Oh Amertor, how old is Papa J that he can't come? Is the helicopter bought for Mahama alone to use? Your end is coming!
Yes they didn't invite him because he tell them to be very careful of NPP ..they are afraid
This is a great sign that NDC is descending rapidly. How possible can they leave Rawlings behind? Their arrogance will send them to opposition, because they they have bought the mind of illitrates and some people. I suggest Rawlings is ashamed of the party's behaviuor, that is why he refused to come. But NDC will always lie to Ghanaians as if we don't think. So fellow Ghanaians will buy reality or lies? See someone like Kwaakye Ofosu with full of lies and dis respect with Asiedu Nketiah among those rulling us, very sad. Change your patern of voting and vote well for your future and our future. Even if you receive a bribe or dash about GHC 2000 to vote it will not take you 2 months, from there full of suffering for the next 4 years. Be watchful and vote well.
Aww Ametor "becos of old age" u strong pass Papa J? You are older than Papa J but he is stronger than even u and your president put together.. This is another propaganda
Another babdy with sharp teeth. How come you failed to invite papa J. Do you know how much he has toiled for our party only for to disgrace him. You will see. Our boom speech will certainly come after the election. Just wait.
This Amertor Quarmye anothe ayuigbe /ewe thiff - PAAA and these NDC bunch of thiffs -KWARRRAAA !!!!!! are they not tired of lying to the people ; how can you say JJ Rawlings is an old man of 68 or 69 years and how can you say 'you did not want to bother him'
