When her condition did not improve, she was moved to the Ridge Hospital in Accra early on Monday, where she eventually passed the following day in the intensive care unit.

Kubi noted that Donkor's daughters and some relatives were at the hospital. A family source had first confirmed Donkor's passing to the media on Tuesday, October 29, but no official cause of death has been given.

“So, yesterday in the afternoon, the family called and told me that she couldn’t make it," he said to Onua TV.

Donkor was set to make her fourth attempt to be president of Ghana in the upcoming election. She had picked number three on the presidential ballot paper.

She started her political career when she was elected as the assemblywoman for Herman in the Eastern Region.

Search for a ceremonial husband

Before her passing, YEN.com.gh reported that Donkor had suggested her need for a ceremonial husband to boost her presidential aspirations.

She said that her husband passed away recently, and it was about time she got a new one as it was tough being without a man.

However, Donkor said she had foreseen an even more challenging period when active political campaigning started this year.
