The family of the late founder of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) visited her grave to mark the first anniversary of her passing.
Akua Donkor died at the age of 83 on October 28, 2024, at the Ridge Hospital in Accra. A family source first confirmed the passing of the GFP leader to the media on October 29 that year.
Her vice presidential candidate, Kwabena Agyekum Appiah Kubi, popularly known as Roman Fada, said she had fallen ill and was rushed to the Nsawam Government Hospital.
“She has not been well for the past few days, so we sent her to the Nsawam Government Hospital on Saturday," Kubi told 3 News after her passing.
She was later transferred to the Ridge Hospital, but sadly succumbed to her illness.
Akua Donkor's death occurred ahead of her fourth run for president in the 2024 election.
She was third on the ballot and had grabbed attention about a month before when she happily danced around after submitting her nomination forms.
