General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, cut short his campaign tour of the Volta Region to attend the one-week memorial held for the late mother of National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo.
Madam Mary Gyawubea Badu, late mother of NDC National Chairman Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, passed away sadly a few weeks ago.
Her one-week memorial was held Friday and Asiedu Nketia abandoned his campaign to mourn side-by-side with the man he’s seeking to depose as National Chairman of the NDC.
The memorial was held at the Jubilee Park in Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
Mr Asiedu Nketiah was accompanied by the Eastern Regional Chair Mark Oliver Kevor, Regional Women’s Organizer and other executives of the party in the region.
