Former President Jerry John Rawlings has visited the final resting place of the former head of state, the late President, Professor John Evans Atta Mills.

The founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) visited the Asomdwee Park, near the Osu Castle in Accra to lay a wreath to commemorate the eighth anniversary of the death of the former President.

In a Twitter post, he said "he worked with Atta Mills as his Vice-President adding that he was an outstanding personality."
