Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has paid a condolence visit to the family of the late former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, following her passing on Thursday, October 23, 2025, at the Ridge Hospital in Accra.
Dr. Bawumia, accompanied by his wife Samira Bawumia, signed the book of condolence at the Rawlings residence to express his sympathy and solidarity with the bereaved family.
He was joined by prominent members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), including former Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, former Education and Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, and former Works and Housing Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, among others.
In a message of condolence, Dr. Bawumia eulogized Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings as a trailblazer in women’s empowerment, child welfare, and social advocacy.
“Nana Konadu dedicated her life to advancing the rights of women and promoting development across Ghana. Her legacy of service and compassion will continue to inspire generations,” he said.
He also extended his sympathies to former President Jerry John Rawlings’ family, describing Nana Konadu’s passing as “a great loss not only to her family but to the entire nation.”
Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, Ghana’s longest-serving First Lady, is remembered for her pioneering role in founding the 31st December Women’s Movement, which championed women’s rights and economic empowerment.
