President Mahama has announced that the late former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, will be accorded a state burial with full honours in recognition of her exceptional service to the nation.

The President disclosed this when he visited the residence of Nana Konadu to offer his condolences and honour her life of public service on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.

Reflecting on her exceptional legacy, Mahama underscored her distinction as the longest-serving First Lady in Ghanaian history, serving for 19 years, a record he said is unlikely to be broken under the current constitutional limits.

He also signed the book of condolence opened in her memory, joined by his wife, Lordina Mahama.

Nana Konadu, who passed on October 23, 2025, was known for her pioneering leadership in women’s advocacy and her role in founding the 31st December Women’s Movement.

Her death continues to draw mourners to the residence of the Rawlings family, coupled with heartfelt tributes.
