In a poignant yet pivotal moment for Ghana’s political landscape, the Ghana Freedom Party is poised for a transformative chapter after the unexpected passing of its founder and presidential candidate, Madam Akua Donkor.
Her running mate, known affectionately as Roman Father, has been officially appointed to lead the party into the upcoming general elections, scheduled for December 7.
The decision was made during an urgent meeting of the party’s National Executives alongside regional leaders, held in Kumasi.
During this gathering, it was revealed that Madam Donkor had expressed her wishes prior to her death — a foresight that has now become critically relevant.
She had clearly stated that in the unfortunate event of her demise while involved in politics, her running mate should assume the leadership role.
It is this solemn promise that laid the groundwork for Roman Father’s elevation as the new flag bearer of the Ghana Freedom Party.
Madam Akua Donkor, known for her vibrant personality and dedication to her vision for a more inclusive political landscape, left behind a legacy that many have commended.
Her untimely passing has not only left a void within the party but has also galvanized the members who shared her vision.
At the Kumasi meeting, party executives expressed their commitment to stand firmly behind Roman Father, vowing to rally their support and resources to ensure a successful campaign in the upcoming elections.
Roman Father, the charismatic figure stepping into this significant role, takes on the responsibility at a time when the party is on the cusp of crucial political battles. His past experience as Madam Donkor’s running mate has familiarized him with the party’s ideals, challenges, and aspirations.
He embodies the continuity that the party seeks during this transition, and the Executives believe his leadership will honor Akua Donkor’s vision while paving the way for future successes.
The Ghana Freedom Party, under Roman Father’s stewardship, aims to build upon the foundation laid by its founder, focusing on inclusivity, social justice, and economic empowerment for all citizens. “We are ready to honor Madam Donkor’s legacy and fight for the change she believed in,” Roman Father declared, rallying supporters and party loyalists alike.
As the political landscape heats up in the lead-up to the elections, the Ghana Freedom Party is steeling itself for what promises to be a heated contest. With Roman Father at the helm, the party’s national and regional executives have pledged their readiness to work tirelessly to galvanize support, engage voters, and articulate a vision that resonates with the needs and hopes of the Ghanaian populace.
The road ahead will undoubtedly be challenging, and the party will have to navigate its grief while also celebrating the legacy of one of Ghana’s formidable political figures.
Yet with the rallying cry of unity and purpose behind Roman Father, the Ghana Freedom Party aims not only to honor Akua Donkor but also to emerge as a significant player on December 7, striving for a better tomorrow for all Ghanaians.
