The renaming took place on June 22, 2026, coinciding with what would have been the late former President’s 79th birthday.
Reacting on social media, Koku Anyidoho described the decision as a meaningful gesture that reflects the party’s historical and ideological roots.

In a post on his X account, he framed the development as a form of “spiritual reciprocity” between the two late statesmen.
What did Koku Anyidoho say?
Koku Anyidoho recalled that Rawlings played a key role in Atta-Mills’ political rise, which ultimately culminated in his presidency.
“The building remains one of the most significant monuments built for the Party by President John Evans Atta-Mills... I know for sure that the soul of President Atta-Mills would be smiling,” he wrote,
He suggested Rawlings had created the opportunity for Atta-Mills to serve at the highest level of government.
The former NDC Deputy General Secretary commended the current NDC leadership, saying the move firmly embeds Rawlings’ legacy within the party’s identity and promotes unity.
“Ayekoo to the Leadership of the NDC for making it possible to etch the name of Jerry John Rawlings firmly on the image of the NDC,” he stated.
Koku Anyidoho also welcomed plans announced by NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah to name the party’s future educational institution after former President Atta-Mills, recalling his own role in initiating the party school project during his tenure.
