Former First Lady of Ghana, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, has reportedly passed away.
According to reports, Agyeman-Rawlings had been unwell for some time and was under close medical supervision prior to her passing.
She was the wife of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings and played a prominent role in Ghanaian politics and social advocacy.
Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings was widely recognised for her leadership in championing women’s rights and empowering communities across the country.
Details surrounding her passing remain unclear, as both her family and hospital authorities are yet to issue an official statement.
She served as Ghana’s First Lady from 1981 to 2001 and was the founder and leader of the National Democratic Party (NDP). She also established the 31st December Women’s Movement (DWM) in 1982, an initiative aimed at empowering Ghanaian women through entrepreneurship, education, and political participation.
Her last public appearance was on August 13, 2025, when she was accompanied by her children to lay a wreath at the Ceremonial Garden of Jubilee House in honour of eight public servants who lost their lives in a helicopter accident.
Attempts by masemtvgh.com to reach members of her family have so far been unsuccessful.
