Flagbearer of the Ghana Freedom Party, Akua Donkor, has passed on, family sources have confirmed to Dailymailgh.com.
Madam Donkor died Monday night while on admission at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge Hospital), the source said but did not provide any further comment.
“It is a very big blow”, a member of GFP campaign team however said. “Her running mate is very devastated”.
“The team will issue an official statement and notify the Electoral Commission as soon as practicable”, the campaign team added.
Donkor was born in February 1952, and hails from Afigya Kwabre South District in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
The 72-year-old was a cocoa farmer by profession.
When elected as president, Donkor promised to make free education from primary to secondary level. She also said she will erase import taxes to enable people import more.
She would establish a free zone at the port of Tema to attract more businesses.These, she said was achievable through the judicious use of Ghana’s resources such as Gold, cocoa, shea butter and salt.
She also advocated that Ghana refined its own resources especially oil, saying that buying refined oil from other countries when the country is an oil producer was absurd.
Donkor has claimed Muammar Gaddafi of Libya as her political icon.
