I don’t ever regret begging for forgiveness from Rawlings. Those members who had issues with Rawlings should thank me because I have opened all closed doors for them; there is a free passage for our presidential candidates to call on Rawlings for his blessing and I’m very happy,” Ms Desoso said.

Ms Desoso was in her apologetic best when she knelt before ex-President Rawlings in a bid to ask for forgiveness for the party at a June 4 anniversary celebration at Madina.
