Former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings has passed away at the Ridge Hospital in Accra at the age of 76.
Details surrounding her death are still emerging, but reports indicate that she died early Thursday after a short illness. Her family and close associates are expected to issue an official statement soon.
Nana Konadu was the wife of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings and served as Ghana’s First Lady from 1981 to 2001. She was widely recognized for her tireless advocacy for women’s rights and social development.
She founded the 31st December Women’s Movement, a pioneering organization that championed women’s empowerment and community development initiatives across the country.
In later years, she remained active in public life, leading the National Democratic Party (NDP) and continuing to voice her views on key national issues.
Her passing marks the end of an era for one of Ghana’s most influential women in politics and social activism.
