The former Member of Parliament (MP) for Hohoe, Bernice Adiku Heloo, has sadly passed on.

The tragic loss occurred on Wednesday, December 25, after a short illness.

Heloo represented the Hohoe Constituency in Ghana’s 4th Republic, serving in the 6th and 7th Parliaments from January 7, 2013, to January 6, 2021.

Beyond her political role, she was a prominent advocate, having led the Society for Women and AIDS in Africa as president and founded Prolink, a renowned Ghanaian non-governmental organization.

Her untimely death has left the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Volta Region in mourning. While regional leaders have confirmed the passing, an official statement has yet to be made.
