Zanetor Rawlings, the daughter of former President Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings has asked the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to cleanse itself of any lingering "demons" to secure victory in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Delivering a passionate address at a church in Cape Coast on June 3 to mark the commencement of the 44th-anniversary commemoration of the June 4 Revolution, Zanetor Rawlings, who is a lawmaker, emphasized the need for the NDC, which she described as the product of the revolution, to undergo a thorough self-examination.
She stressed that the party must rid itself of any negative influences that may have crept in unnoticed over time.
"If the NDC is to rescue this country come 2024, then we must clear ourselves from any demon that entered while we were not paying attention," Zanetor Rawlings declared, urging her party members to reflect on their actions and align themselves with the principles of the June 4 Uprising.
The June 4 Revolution, also known as the June 4th Uprising, was sparked by the arrest and trial of Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings and other junior military officers by the leadership of the Supreme Military Council II (SMC II). The former president and his colleagues were charged with mutiny following a failed coup attempt on May 15, 1979.
In his defence during the trial, Jerry John Rawlings cited various reasons for the unsuccessful coup. He highlighted the denial of salaries to junior military officers, rampant corruption among Supreme Military Council officials, poor governance, economic hardships, and general frustration among the populace. Additionally, he pointed out the prevalence of indiscipline within the Ghana Army as a significant contributing factor to the uprising.
Zanetor Rawlings' call for the NDC to rid itself of any demons echoes the spirit of the June 4 Revolution, which sought to address these issues and bring about positive change in the party.

Your dad was the one who destroyed local businesses and also sold almost all the state industries. Let bygones be bygones honourable member of parliament. The fact that you didn’t attend to the JSS and the SSS that your dad implemented and you attended a university in the UK meant that your dad would not have survived the June 4th revolution “test “
It’s not any demon. Tell your party leaders to stop building the party around individuals because those individuals can’t be president or alive forever. You can learn from the NPP because they are far ahead in this game of politics. That’s why it’s very easy for the NPP to come up with workable ideas and policies. One person can’t control a whole party.
This girl shouldn't annoy some of us, ooooo. We are gradually forgetting what his father did to some other people for her to be an MP today. Please, let her leave us in peace!
