 Mr Rawlings died in November 2020, at age 73 at the Korle Bu Teaching hospital after suffering a short illness.

A state funeral service is currently being held for him. The 4-day ceremony started Sunday January 24, 2021.

Speaking at a public lecture on the legacies of the Founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), in Accra on Monday January 25, Mr Bagbin said “Jerry entered at a time there was no democracy and he worked towards building what the Blue Book describes as true democracy.

“He exited at a time democracy is in crisis and that is a title of a book that I will recommend to all of you to read ‘Democracy in crisis’. It not only in Ghana but the whole world. In fact the supposed mother of democracy is also in crisis.

“So can we say that all he did, all he stood for has come to nothing?  It depends on how we gathered here carry on with the battle.”

The lecture was attended by Former President John Dramani Mahama, his vice presidential candidate in last year’s elections, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang,  General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Director of Elections of the NDC Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, former CEO of the National Health Insurance Authority Sylvester Mensah and other stalwarts of the NDC.

Meanwhile, the NDC has complained of being neglected in the organization of the funeral ceremony for their Founder.

Deputy General Secretary of the main opposition party, Peter Boamah Otokunor  noted that the ongoing ceremony would have been better organized if the NDC had been involved in the planning by the government.

Mr Otokunor said these in an interview with TV3’s Komla Adom after filing past the remains of Mr Rawlings at the Accra International Conference Centre on Monday January 25

“Some of us are a reflection of what he stood for and so we are in deep sorrow , we are very sad. We think that the nation has lost greatly , some of us have lost very greatly .

“We are inspired and consolation in the fact that Rawlings left us something an unfinished business, an unfinished service to the nation  which we have to continue .

“We would have wished to honour Rawlings in a more better  and greater , more friendly and inclusive way  than what we have seen the government  lead us to .There are few problems with family  and government , and the government deliberately  and consciously excluding the NDC , a political Party that he founded.”
