The Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) has announced it has selected a new presidential candidate for the upcoming December 7 elections, following the recent passing of their founder and former candidate, Akua Donkor, on October 29. Party officials shared that the new candidate will be formally introduced to the public in the coming days, affirming GFP’s dedication to the election and its vision for Ghana despite the significant loss of their founding leader.
In a press conference held in the Ashanti Region on Friday, November 1, GFP leaders addressed members and supporters, expressing unity and determination to carry forward Akua Donkor’s legacy. Nsawam-Adoagyiri parliamentary candidate Patrick Tetteh confirmed that the party’s executive council has reached a consensus on both a presidential candidate and a running mate, chosen to uphold GFP’s values and commitment to the Ghanaian people.
He highlighted the importance of this step, stating that it honors Akua Donkor’s contributions and advances the party’s mission in her memory.
“The executives and leadership of the Ghana Freedom Party have decided and agreed on the next presidential candidate and running mate which will be announced and presented to the EC and the general public within the given period of the Electoral Commission to enable the Commission to proceed with its legal mandate and the democratic process of our country,” he said.
