Until her demise on Tuesday, October 28, 2024, at the Ridge Hospital in Accra, Akua Donkor was the presidential candidate of the GFP.

She will be remembered for her efforts in championing the causes of farmers and women, as well as for being a fearless and spirited voice in Ghana’s political landscape.
