The Member of Parliament for Korle Klottey, Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, has urged members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to remain humble as they prepare to form the next government.
Members of the party, she said, must not allow arrogance, pride and hubris to fill their hearts because of the victory as that will be the beginning of the party’s downfall.
Addressing the party’s 43rd celebration of the December 31st Revolution in the Greater Accra Region, she cautioned against self-conceit.
Dr. Zanetor, daughter of the late NDC founder Jerry John Rawlings, called on party members to uphold the principles of the revolution, which she credited for establishing the Fourth Republic and stabilizing Ghana’s democracy.
She emphasized the importance of maintaining humility, integrity, and a commitment to the party’s foundational ideals.
“We must maintain humility, we must maintain integrity, and we must uphold the principles on which the revolution was founded, which finally gave birth to this Fourth Republic that we are now striving to restore,” she said.
Dr. Zanetor stressed the strength of Ghana’s democratic foundation, asserting that the nation would have descended into chaos without the efforts of her father and the NDC.
“If the foundation on which this Fourth Republic was built was not strong enough, believe me, Ghana would have descended into chaos by now,” she remarked.
She also urged members of the incoming government to honour and preserve this legacy.
“We have a legacy that we can hold on to, and it is something that we must return to,” she added.
