The Majority Caucus in Parliament, under the leadership of Mahama Ayariga, has expressed its sympathies to the family of the late former First Lady, Her Excellency Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings.
Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings passed away on Thursday, October 23, 2025, at the Ridge Hospital in Accra. She was 76 years old.
In a statement, the Caucus said:“The Majority Caucus in Parliament of Ghana has learnt with shock, the reported sudden death of Her Excellency, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, former 1st Lady and wife of H.E Flt Lt.
