Akua Donkor, the founder and leader of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), died on the evening of Monday, October 28, at Ridge Hospital in Accra.
A family source confirmed her passing to the media on Tuesday, 29 October.
Her running mate for this campaign was Kwabena Agyekum Appiah Kubi, widely known as ‘Roman Fada.’ Kubi told 3 News, “She hasn’t been feeling well for the past few days, so we took her to the Nsawam Government Hospital on Saturday.”
Having previously run in two elections, Donkor was positioned as the third candidate on the ballot for the 2024 presidential race.
Her political journey started as an assemblywoman for Herman, and she made her first presidential run in 2012 as an independent candidate.
That same year, she established the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) with the goal of advocating for the rights of Ghana’s impoverished and marginalized communities, fueled by her long-standing desire to become president of Ghana.
Donkor’s unique approach and dynamic personality made a significant impact on the public, resulting in many memorable moments that ignited lively conversations both online and offline.
