The passing of Akua Donkor, the late Presidential Candidate for the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), has sent ripples of shock and sorrow across the nation. Yaw Dankwah, a private legal practitioner, emphasized that despite this tragic event, the party still has a choice.
He stated that the Ghana Freedom Party must inform the Electoral Commission (EC) about their candidate’s demise, allowing them the opportunity to nominate another presidential candidate at their request.
This procedural step is vital for ensuring that the upcoming elections remain on track.
Her passing however, will incur costs to the state as resources have already been allocated for ballot papers and logistics mobilization.
Kofi Akpaloo, the Presidential Candidate for the LPG, paid tribute to Donkor, describing her life as a beacon of hope for those from deprived backgrounds.
He reflected on her achievements, asserting that her journey illustrates that education is not the only pathway to success in politics.
Akpaloo encouraged young people to learn from Donkor’s legacy, recognizing her as an inspiration for all who aspire to rise against the odds.
As the country mourns this remarkable figure, the narrative of her life will undoubtedly continue to resonate, providing encouragement for generations to come.
