The National Democratic Congress (NDC) will be commencing the commemorative event to rename their party headquarters after the late former President Jerry John Rawlings in few hours.

The event which was planned to coincide with the late president’s birthday was earlier announced on June 4, 2025, by the National Chairman of the NDC Johnson Asiedu Nketiah.

A video shared on X by Mahama thePresident@CitizenTachiman on Sunday June 22, 2025, captured scenes from the event decorated with colourful portraits of the late president.

“We are all set for the Rawlings Day event… Happy birthday to the founder! NDC welcomes this Day!” the caption for the video read.

It would be recalled that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) announced a series of proposals aimed at honouring the legacy of its founder, and late former President Jerry John Rawlings, and strengthening the party’s historical identity.

Among the key proposals, which were adopted by the Functional Executive Committee (FEC) and pending approval by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), are the renaming of the party’s national headquarters to “Jerry Rawlings House”.

This was pending an amendment to the party’s constitution to officially recognise the birthday of the late founder, and the designation of the month of June as “NDC Month.”

These proposals were presented by NDC National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, during the commemoration of the 46th anniversary of the June 4 uprising at Agormanya Lasi Park in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality in the Eastern Region.

“We would, as a party, amend our constitution to include the birthday of our founding father as one of the significant days for the party,” he said.
