Following the party's defeat, the NDC's functional executive set-up a committee to investigate the cause of the party's defeat.
But according to Rawlings, they are manipulators who want to promote a lie about the reasons for the party's defeat.
"Some handlers and manipulators who have profited from the past two government want to promote a lie about the the reason for our failure in order to perpetuate their hold on the NDC party."
According to him, the defeat of the party was obvious but party officials who were living in opulence chose to ignore the writing on the wall.

"I don't think I was the only one who saw the writing on the wall. Many of us, from our very own party, I believe could see the writing on the wall that we were going to lose the past election," he said.
"It was obvious a long time ago that we would make our general negativity, impunity, disrespect and corruption for taking us further and further down the hill about the time when most were living in a painful reality of stress and anger chose to be more impervious to the reality.
"we have lost some goodwill," he concluded.
