The NPP has learnt with utter shock this morning, the tragic death of Professor Kofi Awoonor, in Nairobi Kenya.

Professor Awoonor has been a distinguished son of Ghana, a poet and a teacher, who has served our nation in various capacities.

Our deepest condolences will go out to his family and to the President, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, the government and the people of Ghana.

May his soul rest in peace.
