The Minority in Parliament is deeply saddened at news of the passing of Former President and Founder of the NDC, Jerry John Rawlings and have sent their deepest condolences to the family.
To this end they have suspended their campaigns as announced by the party’s Flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama.
A statement signed by the Minority Leader Haruna Iddrissu said it is most difficult to come to terms with the shocking development considering that only a few weeks ago he looked well and hearty when they paid him a visit to commiserate with him on the loss of his mother.
The statement noted that the country has lost a political icon as Ghana owes her current democratic credentials as a peaceful and stable democracy to the late Mr Rawlings.
It said Former President is unmatched in the fight against corruption as he made it a high risk activity.
The statement eulogised his motivation for public service and how he relentlessly fought cronyism, nepotism and graft.
His death according to the Minority must inspire all to seek the national interest adding that the void created by his departure cannot be filled.
