Despite financial limitations, she consistently pursued the presidency, setting herself apart with her determination.
She had previously contested in two elections and was slated as the third candidate on the 2024 presidential ballot. Her passing closes a unique chapter in Ghana’s political scene.
Akua Donkor’s presidential ambitions began when she was elected as Herman’s Assemblywoman. Her first attempt at the presidency came in 2012 as an independent candidate.
