The Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) has extolled the Electoral Commission (EC) for honouring its late founder and flag bearer, Akua Donkor, who passed on October 28, 2024.
The party, following the passing of the founder and flag bearer had to select a replacement to the EC, which it did on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 05, 2024.
During the presentation of the new candidate, National Organiser of GFP, Richard Botchway, told host of Onua FM’s current affairs show, Asɛm Bɛn Ni
The gesture, according to the party Organiser, shows the respect the Commission had for the woman whom they had worked with over the years.
He expressed the party’s appreciation for the gesture and urged Ghanaians to remember the number slot on the election and vote the GFP to power.
“We’ve submitted Akua Donkor’s replacement to the EC and the EC has accepted the documents just about 10 minutes ago,” he stated.
“Let me applaud the EC because prior to the commencement of the meeting, they made us stand to observe a minute silence for our mother, Akua Donkor. I want to use this opportunity to commend the EC.
“We really appreciate their gesture which indicates the love they had for our mother. They believe they worked with her and deserved to be honoured. We are still occupying our third position,” he added.
