In the months leading to the election of President John Evans Atta Mills, many Ghanaians, including those abroad, feared that a New Democratic Congress (NDC) win would morph into another reign by the party’s founder and former military ruler, President Jerry John Rawlings. 
ndani ya miezi kuelekea uchaguzi wa Rais Hohn Evans Atta Mills, wa-Ghana wengi, pamoja na wale walio nje ya nchi, waliohofu kwamba ushindi wa chama cha New Democratic Congress (NDC) ungeweza kugeuka kuwa utawala mwingine wa mwanzilishi wa chama hicho na mtawala wa zamani wa kijeshi, Rais Jerry John Rawlings.
