Former President Jerry John Rawlings on Friday re-registered as a member of the National Democratic Congress. He also paid his membership dues for the next 3 years.

Jerry Rawlings' renewal of his membership is in line with the party’s ongoing re-registration of its members across the country.

The ongoing re-registration exercise which ends on February 28 forms part of the implementation of the recommendations of the Professor Kwesi Botchwey Committee that probed the party’s abysmal performance in the 2016 general elections.

The NDC resolved to scrap its current biometric register for a manual one following claims that some non-party members have found their names in the register.

Meanwhile, the party has urged all its members to endeavour to register before the deadline next Wednesday.

“The National Democratic Congress (NDC) wishes to remind all party supporters and sympathizers that the National Registration Exercise of its members officially ends on Wednesday, February 28, 2018,” a statement from the NDC and signed by its General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia said.

“The party seizes this opportunity to thank all comrades for the enthusiasm with which the exercise has been embraced and, assures them of the commitment to reorganize as the NDC continues to prepare to recapture power in 2020,” the statement added.
