Emotional Scenes at One-Week Observation of Akua Donkor
Heart-wrenching images and videos from the one-week observation of Akua Donkor, the late flagbearer of the Ghana Freedom Party, have surfaced online, capturing the somber atmosphere of the event.
As announced earlier by the family, the one-week commemoration for the farmer-turned-politician took place today. The ceremony was marked by deep grief, as family members and sympathizers gathered to honor her memory.
Akua Donkor’s family made it evident that her passing, though some time ago, remains a heavy burden on their hearts. The gathering was filled with sorrowful expressions, emphasizing the significant loss they continue to feel.

Nonetheless, the absence did not lessen the emotional impact on attendees. Family members were visibly distraught, with many openly shedding tears as they reflected on the life and legacy of the late politician.
