The Electoral Commission of Ghana has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Defence Minister Dr. Edward Kofi Omane Boamah and seven others who perished in a tragic helicopter crash on Wednesday, August 6.
In a statement signed by Chairperson Mrs. Jean Mensa, the Commission described the news as shocking and disheartening, especially given Dr. Boamah’s role as a dedicated and vocal member of the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC).
“Dr. Omane Boamah was committed to strengthening Ghana’s democratic and electoral processes. His absence at our meetings will be felt,” the statement said.
The Commission extended its condolences to President John Dramani Mahama, the government, the bereaved families, and all Ghanaians, urging unity and strength during this difficult time.
“May the souls of the departed rest in peace,” Mrs. Mensa concluded.
