    Breaking News: Konadu Redraws from Presidential Polls

    Former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings has withdrawn from the 2020 presidential polls, Starr News has learnt.

    Starr News sources say Mrs Rawlings, who is also the Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Party (NDP), has informed the Electoral Commission of her decision.

    The party is set to address a press conference today Monday, November 23, 2020.

    Mrs Rawlings is the wife of former President JJ Rawlings, Ghana’s longest-serving leader, who died on November 12, 2020.

    Founder and leader of United Progressive Party (UPP) Kwasi Addai Odike has advised former First Lady and wife of the late former president Jerry John Rawlings to pull out of next month’s general elections.

    Mr. Odike believes withdrawing from the race will make Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings concentrate on her widowhood to ensure the former president is given the necessary dignity and befitting funeral.

    Speaking on Akoma FM‘s morning show GhanAkoma last week, the UPP leader, who is one of the five presidential aspirants disqualified from the December 7 race, explained that “Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings has no place to gain sympathy votes because even 2016 when her husband was alive, she had less than 20,000 votes”.

    “So, she should concentrate on her husband’s death and even withdraw from the electioneering race,” he added.

  • Nana Konadu Rawlings Attacks NDC

    Nana Konadu Rawlings Attacks NDC

    The flagbearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP), Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of stealing her manifesto ideas.

    According to the former First Lady, the ideas in the NDC’s manifesto for the 2020 election were her contents for the 2016 election. She disclosed this in an interview on GhOne TV. She said the ideas were as a result of her desire to champion skills training and development.

    “Now I can see that though I was condemned in 2016 about skill development and skill training, about making salt, other people have stolen the idea and put it in their manifesto,” she said.

    However, fast forward to the 2020 election, the same party she said condemned her for preaching that agenda is also towing that line.

    “I’ve heard it from former President Mahama saying we can now make salt and skill training and skill development is the best, they were insulting me about it but I said it is key to a country’s development.

    It’s key because you can’t have 12 million people going to school and all becoming graduates. Every nation needs categorisation of specific duties,” she noted.
