Jerry Rawlings
Jerry Rawlings was a Ghanaian revolutionary and politician who served as the country's leader during two distinct periods: first as a military ruler from 1981 to 1992 and later as an elected president from 1993 to 2001. He came to power after overthrowing the government of Dr. Hilla Limann, marking a significant shift in Ghana's political landscape. Rawlings is known for his controversial leadership style and efforts to combat corruption and economic mismanagement, but his tenure was also marked by allegations of human rights abuses. His impact on Ghana's history remains a topic of debate and discussion.
