The late former President Jerry John Rawlings
Former chief drummer of the Black Stars, Joseph Langabel, has disclosed that he stopped voting in elections following the death of former President Jerry John Rawlings.
According to him, his love and admiration for the late president were the reasons he continued to participate in Ghana’s electoral process.
In a video circulating on social media, Langabel referred to Rawlings as the “King of the Jews”, describing his influence and leadership skills.
“Since Rawlings left office, I’ve never voted again. He is the person I love, and he is the reason I used to vote. Now that he is no longer there, why should I go and vote? Rawlings is the King of the Jews,” he said.
NDC eulogises late President Rawlings on 5th anniversary of his death
The late Jerry John Rawlings ruled Ghana both as a military leader and as a democratically elected president for about nineteen years, from 1981 to 2001.
He remains one of the longest-serving presidents in the country and one of its most influential and polarising political figures.
His legacy as the founder of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) continues to spark debate and admiration many years after his departure from office and subsequent death.
