Hon. Dorcas Naa Korklu Afotey commiserates with the family of the late Hon. Hanny Sherry Ayitey and the National Democratic Congress

I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of my senior Comrade, advisor, and political godmother, Hon. Hanny Sherry Ayittey.

The tragic death of a cooperative, supportive, and founding member of our party who has contributed enormously to the survival of our NDC and our democratic dispensation will leave a vacuum in our party and nation.

I am deeply saddened by her untimely demise and desire to express my heartfelt condolences to her immediate family, friends, our unflinching supporters across the nation, and to my dear National Democratic Congress for this irreparable loss.

Indeed, until her unexpected demise, she was a committed community steward, a people-oriented politician, and a great political administrator who wanted to see many of us grow in the NDC.

May the Almighty God repose the soul of our beloved mother and comfort her nuclear and extended families, friends, and political allies.
