The founder and leader of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Akua Donkor, will be laid to rest on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at Ejuratia in the Ashanti Region.

According to details from a funeral poster sighted by GhanaWeb, the final rites will begin with a lying-in-state, followed by a burial service and an afternoon funeral ceremony.

She passed away on October 28, 2024, at Ridge Hospital in Accra.

A passionate advocate for farmers, women, and journalists, Akua Donkor stood out in Ghanaian politics for her commitment to grassroots communities, often using a bold and comical approach to capture public attention.

Popularly recognised by her slogan, “3ny3 nono," her political journey began when she was elected as an Assemblywoman for Herman.

Her first attempt at the presidency was in 2012, but she was disqualified for failing to meet the eligibility requirements. Undeterred, she continued her political aspirations, later supporting Papa Kwesi Nduom of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) in that election year.

In 2016, a fire destroyed her party’s headquarters in Kabu, Akropong Constituency, Eastern Region, ultimately disqualifying her from the election.

Despite these setbacks, Akua Donkor remained a resilient and outspoken figure, advocating for grassroots needs and championing agricultural issues.

Listed as the third candidate on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election, she vowed to make significant changes if elected, outlining 18 ambitious promises.

These included completing the Saglemi Housing Project, providing free accommodation for public servants, increasing maternity leave from three months to one year, offering farmers financial support to expand their farms, refining petrol locally, providing clean and free water, and eradicating galamsey.

Her focus on agricultural and social reforms extended to pension support for farmers over 40, free cutlasses and fertilizers, and ensuring parliamentary representation for every trade.
