The passing of Akua Donkor, the 2024 presidential candidate for the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), has left a deep void across the nation as Ghanaians reflect on her impactful moments and iconic personality.

News of her death broke in the early hours of Tuesday, October 29, 2024. Her well-known slogan, "enny3 no no," has become a lasting symbol in Ghana’s political history, embodying her bold approach and unwavering character.

Since the announcement, cherished memories of Akua Donkor have flooded social media, with Ghanaians sharing videos that capture her most memorable moments.

One video, now widely shared, captures the humorous moment when Akua Donkor mistakenly flipped her ballot paper number upside down during a media interview, following the balloting for the 2024 elections.

Another unforgettable promise came when she proposed changing Ghana’s currency from the cedi to the British pound, a bold idea that quickly became a talking point nationwide.

Perhaps the most iconic memory is the video in which she firmly reprimanded a woman for interrupting a live interview. Her insistence on respect during the televised broadcast resonated with many Ghanaians and showed her commitment to standing her ground.

Akua Donkor, who was number 3 on the 2024 ballot, was actively preparing for the elections with just 39 days left. She passed away at 83, leaving behind a legacy of boldness, memorable quotes, and deep national affection.
