The New Patriotic Party (NPP) will for the next seven days be flying all of its flags at half-mast in honour of the late Ama Busia.
Ama Busia, a long-standing member of the NPP’s National Council of Elders, died on Tuesday, December 12 at the Nyaho Medical Centre in Accra, following a brief illness.
She was 87.
In a statement, the party said it has received the news of her demise with sadness and disbelief.
“She served as the National First Vice Chairperson of the NPP. She was, until her passing, a long-standing member of the party’s National Council of Elders.
“The late distinguished stateswoman and former member of the Council of State was an embodiment of humility, hard work, and selfless service to the NPP and the nation at large”.
Describing her death as a big blow, the NPP extended its heartfelt condolences to the Busia family and also commiserated with the nation.
Ama was the sister of the late Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia
