EASTERN REGION NDC MOURNS WITH NPP

We woke up this morning to a very sad and heartbreaking news of the demise of the NPP Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, Hon. Joseph Boakye Danquah-Adu.

On behalf of the Eastern Regional chapter of the National Democratic Congress, we express our heartfelt condolence to the New Patriotic Party and the family of the late MP for this huge but irreplaceable loss.

Hon. J.B Danquah-Adu was a very respectable man both in politics and the academia. 
We have indeed lost a very moderate politician who symbolised political tolerance in the Region and an astute chartered accountant as a nation.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the NPP as well as the wife, children and family of the Honourable member.

It is our hope and prayer that God Almighty will protect and strengthen the family even as they go through this trauma. 

To the NPP, we say take heart and trust in God.

The party will officially send a delegation to mourn with the family at the appropriate time in accordance with custom.

Damirifa Due JB!!

Signed 
Kevor Mark-Oliver 
Eastern Regional Secretary, NDC
