We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Akua Donkor, the founder and leader of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP). Her death, which occurred on Monday, October 28 at Ridge Hospital in Accra, marks the end of an era in Ghanaian politics.
Akua Donkor was a prominent figure known for her unwavering dedication to advocating for the rights of farmers and women. As the founder of the GFP, she fearlessly addressed the needs of grassroots communities, capturing public attention with her bold and outspoken approach.
Despite facing challenges such as limited financial resources, Akua Donkor remained undeterred in her pursuit of political aspirations. She made history by contesting for the presidency multiple times, with her latest candidacy placing her as the third candidate on the ballot for the 2024 presidential race.
Her journey in politics began when she was elected as the Assemblywoman for Herman, and she later made her first attempt at the presidency in 2012 as an independent candidate. Despite facing disqualification by the Electoral Commission, she continued to persevere in her political endeavors.
The passing of Akua Donkor not only marks a personal loss for her family and supporters but also signifies the end of a unique chapter in Ghana's political history. Her legacy as a spirited advocate and political trailblazer will be remembered for years to come.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family, friends, and supporters of Akua Donkor during this difficult time. May her legacy continue to inspire and ignite positive change in Ghanaian politics.
