Mortal remains of Stephen Kwakye Antwi, 52, Tarkwa- Nsueam Chairman of National Democratic Congress (NDC), was laid to rest on Saturday June 27 at Bonsawire in the Western Region.

Hundreds of sympathisers turned out at the premises of the Miracle Rock church, at Brenua-Akyem, a suburb of Tarkwa to pay their last respect to Mr Antwi who was also a contractor and Chief Executive Officer of Tafasoda Company Limited.

He died in April.

The tearful ceremony was attended by Mr Kofi Portuphy, NDC National Chairman, Mr Alfred Ekow Gyan, Deputy Regional Minister, Mr Michael Aidoo, NDC Regional Chairman, Mr Francis Adu-Blay Koffie, Member of Parliament for Prestea Huni/Valley and Mr Oscar Larbi, Dean of District Chief Executives.

Those who spoke to Ghana News Agency (GNA), expressed shock at Mr Antwi’s demise as he was dynamic in the party.

In an interview with the GNA, Mr Paa Kwasi Ephraim, Funeral Committee Chairman for Tarkwa Nsueam, noted that the late Antwi was loved and cherished by all.

“His death should strengthen our faith in the Lord and unite the party executives as well as members throughout Tarkwa Nsueam,” he said.
