Parliament has expressed deep sorrow over the death of the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East, Naser Toure Mahama, describing his passing as a major loss to the House, the nation and the people he faithfully served.
In a statement released on Sunday, January 4, 2026, on behalf of the Speaker of Parliament, the leadership of the House and the Parliamentary Service, Parliament said Ghana had lost a committed public servant whose dedication to national development and constituency advocacy was widely recognised.
The statement noted that the late MP was a principled and hardworking legislator who carried out his duties with integrity, responsibility and a strong sense of service to his constituents.
His contributions to parliamentary debates, support for development initiatives and consistent efforts to improve the welfare of the people of Ayawaso East were highlighted as lasting aspects of his legacy.
Parliament further described Mr Mahama as a lawmaker who embodied the ideals of service and philanthropy, adding that his impact within the House and beyond would not be forgotten.
Extending condolences to the bereaved family, colleagues in Parliament, constituents and all those affected by his death, Parliament assured them of its prayers and support during this difficult period, praying that “the Almighty Allah grants him eternal rest and gives his loved ones the strength to bear this great loss”.
The House also appealed to the media and the general public to respect the privacy of the family and avoid sensationalism as they mourn the late legislator.
