The former New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP died on Monday, July 7, 2025 at the age of 40 from a heart attack.
He had gone on a trip the previous day and returned early in the morning when he fell ill, according to his brother.
Speaking to the press, the late legislator’s sibling said he complained of chest pains and was consequently rushed to the Lister Hospital in Spintex.
Ernest Kumi died shortly after arrival at the hospital, as all attempts to save him proved futile.
Following initial speculation, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, confirmed his cause of death as heart failure during a speech read on his behalf on the floor of the house.
