According to an internal memo by The Multimedia Group, the sad incident occurred at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC).

John Mahama says the development saddens him.

"I was by his bedside briefly during his period of hospitalisation and feel indeed sad that he was unable to pull through," he said in a post on Facebook.

The NDC leader eulogised Elvis Kwashie and his immense contribution to shaping the country’s media landscape.

"He was a good person, and his days with the Multimedia Group showcased his professional journalistic trait and a classic example of how to play the gatekeeping role as a media person," he wrote.

He further commiserated and prayed for guidance for his wife and children and the media conglomerate in this difficult moment.

"We can only thank God for his life, and my heart goes out at this time to his wife, Cynthia, the children, family and The Multimedia Group."

Funeral arrangements will be communicated in due course.
