A family representative who spoke to the media indicated that their beloved recently passed away, and the family is currently deliberating on how to give her a befitting burial.

"We are thinking of how to raise money to commemorate her one-week when we heard that the party secretary and Roman Fada have made the move," he noted.

According to him, the family cannot decide on a successor until the funeral arrangements for their beloved are finalised.

He further clarified that although rumours suggest Akua Donkor named Roman Fada as her replacement, she did not inform any family member about this decision, so the family cannot accept it.
