Daily Graphic News has reported the passing of Akua Donkor, the presidential candidate for the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP). According to a family source, Madam Donkor died on Monday night at the Ridge Hospital in Accra.
Akua Donkor, a well-known figure in Ghanaian politics, was last seen in public at an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting in Accra two weeks ago. At the meeting, she made headlines after voicing her displeasure over what she described as ongoing derogatory comments about her educational background and qualifications as a candidate in the 2024 presidential election. Madam Donkor, who has long been open about her lack of formal classroom education, expressed frustration over criticisms that she felt undermined her capability to lead.
Madam Akua Donkor has been a vocal advocate for Ghanaian freedom and self-reliance, founding the Ghana Freedom Party to promote her vision for the country. Her candidacy, while met with controversy, has also garnered a devoted following among grassroots supporters who admired her unfiltered approach and advocacy.
Further details regarding her passing are yet to be disclosed. The family has asked for privacy during this time, and the nation awaits updates on arrangements to honor her legacy.
