Former President and founder of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Jerry John Rawlings, has signed the book of condolence opened in memory of the late President J.E.A. Mills at the State House, Accra.

A sober looking Jerry Rawlings was teary as he signed the book of condolence for the man who was his vice-president from 1996 to 2000.

Rawlings’ appearance at the State House comes just days after he came under a barrage of criticisms over comments he made considered to be in bad taste.

The family of the late president has subsequently issued a rejoinder to the widely publicised reports culled from an interview he granted the BBC.
