A video of Eno Mary, daughter of the late Akua Donkor, wailing uncontrollably at her mother's one-week observance has surfaced online.
The solemn event, held at Ejuaratia in the Ashanti Region, saw mourners and sympathizers clad in black gathered at the venue to mourn with the family of the late GFP founder on their loss.
A video which has since gone viral and was sighted by YEN.com.gh on the YouTube page of Rakak Ghana showed the moment the last-born daughter of the late politician was captured wailing over the demise of her mother.
She lost herself in sorrow and had to be comforted by mourners who had also come to mourn with the family.
Akua Donkor died at the Ridge Hospital in Accra on October 2024 after suffering from an illness.
She had filed her nomination before her demise and was set to contest the 2024 December elections.
An attempt by her running mate, Roman Fada, to stand in her stand as her replacement for the 2024 elections failed as he was disqualified for making errors while filling his nomination forms.
Avoid sedentary lifestyles
Reacting to the demise of the late Akua Donkor, a medical doctor at the Pediatric Intensive Care at the Korle Teaching Hospital, Dr Desmond Nii Akwei Allotey, in an interview with YEN.com.gh, said some conditions are often associated with lifestyles.
He stressed the need for people to be careful in this regard and refrain from sedentary lifestyles that could harm their health.
"So all these signs, usually they are associated with lifestyle, we also call them lifestyle associated conditions. The more westernized we become, the more we eating junk food and less nutritious food. We are becoming more sedentary hence engaging in less physical activity."
