The news of the death of the former president has thrown Ghana into a wave of shock as nobody expected this to happen, at least, not any time soon.

This is because Rawlings was not known to be sick as he actively buried his mother, Madam Victoria Agbotui, just about two weeks ago.

Confirmed reports have it that he died of COVID-19 suspected to be contracted during or after his mother’s funeral.

J J as he was affectionately called, died at age 73, leaving behind his wife, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, and four children - Zanetor Rawlings, Yaa Asantewaa Rawlings, Amina Rawlings, and Kimathi Rawlings, the last of the four and the only son.

Jerry John Rawlings was born on June 22, 1947. He was a former Ghanaian military leader who ruled Ghana from 1981 to 1992 as head of state.

He was then democratically elected president of Ghana in 1992 and served till 2000. After two terms in office, Rawlings endorsed his vice-president, the late John Evans Atta Mills as the presidential candidate in 2000.

However, his party, the NDC, handed over power to former president John Agyekum Kufour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as it lost the 2000 elections.

Rawlings initially came to power in Ghana as a flight lieutenant of the Ghana Air Force following a coup d’état in 1979.

In 1992, Rawlings resigned from the military and founded the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and became the first president of the Fourth Republic.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Rawlings turned 73 on Monday, June 22, and as part of celebrations, he reached out to the less privileged in society.

Ahead of the celebration, the former president delegated a team to make donations of PPEs and other relief items to the Pantang Hospital, Mawuvio Outreach Orphanage at Ayikuma, and the Accra Psychiatric Hospital.
