The governing New Patriotic Party has expressed its shock and disbelief over the death of Parliamentarian Emmanuel Agyarko who represented Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency in the Greater Accra region.
In a statement signed by General Secretary of the NPP John Boadu, the party described the late Agyarko “as one of the experienced legislators”.
“The party accordingly, extends its heartfelt condolence to his immediate family particularly his lovely wife and children for such incalculable loss. The NPP equally commiserates with close associates of the late MP, the Parliament of the Republic of Ghana and the rest of the nation for losing such a great asset by all standards,” the statement said.
