Mahama visits family of late NDC Vice Chairman who died in helicopter crash
President John Dramani Mahama paid a solemn visit to the family of the late Dr. Samuel Sarpong, Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash last month.
The visit followed Mr. Mahama’s attendance at the funeral rites of the late Asantehemaa, Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom III, at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.
He was accompanied by his Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, Ashanti Regional Minister Frank Amoakohene, and other members of his entourage.
Dr. Sarpong was one of eight individuals who tragically perished in a military helicopter crash, an incident that sent shockwaves throughout the nation.
His unexpected passing has created a void within the NDC and among his colleagues and loved ones, who deeply admired his dedication and commitment to service.
President Mahama extended condolences to the bereaved family, praising Dr. Sarpong as a dedicated party stalwart and selfless leader who worked tirelessly to promote the ideals of the NDC. He assured them of the party’s continued support during this challenging time.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash is ongoing as the nation mourns the loss of prominent figures who perished in the accident.
