The New Patriotic Party (NPP) deeply mourns the passing of Her Excellency Mrs. Theresa Kufuor, the beloved wife of former President John Agyekum Kufuor and former First Lady of the Republic which sad event occurred on October 1, 2023.

Mrs. Theresa Kufuor, who served as Ghana’s First Lady from January 7, 2001, to January 6, 2009, dedicated her life to supporting her husband throughout his political career and to the service of humanity.

Inspired by her profession as a nurse, Mrs Kufour championed the cause of improved healthcare in our country. Notably, she established the Mother and Child Community Development Foundation (MCCDF) that supports the prevention of mother to child transmission of diseases, including HIV/ AIDS.

Mrs. Kufuor was also a beacon for female advancement, fostering initiatives to inspire and empower both young and adult females in various facets of life.

The members of the ruling New Patriotic Party, together with all Ghanaians whose lives were positively touched by her, extend our deepest condolences to former President John Agyekum Kufuor, their children, and the entire family. We stand united with you in this time of sorrow, praying that the Almighty God grants all of us the fortitude to bear this great loss.

In tribute to the memory of the late Mrs Kufuor, the NPP directs that all Party flags across the country be flown at half-mast for the next seven days. May her gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace until we meet again on the resurrection morning.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has learned of the shocking demise of Hon. Daniel Okyem Aboagye, which occurred on Friday, September 22, 2023.

The late Daniel Okyem Aboagye was a strong adherent and advocate of the ideals of the Dankwa-Dombo-Busia tradition and was elected Member of Parliament for Bantama Constituency on the ticket of the Party from 2017 to 2021.

As several Ghanaians would attest to, the late Okyem Aboagye was an enterprising man with insightful business and financial acumen, qualities that translated into his personal life as he became an extremely successful entrepreneur and business magnate whose businesses employ to date, hundreds of Ghanaians.

As a member of the Finance Committee of Parliament and Government Spokesperson on Finance, Hon. Okyem Aboagye became a sought-after voice in public discourse on finance and the economy, as he was often seen and heard on various media platforms nationwide.

The Party extends our deepest condolences to his immediate family, constituents of Bantama and the entire country for the sudden and shocking loss of an illustrious citizen. In honour of his memory, the NPP directs that all Party flags at various offices across the country be flown at half-mast for the next seven days.
