The Majority Caucus in Parliament, led by Mahama Ayariga, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Ghana’s former First Lady, Her Excellency Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings.
The late Mrs. Rawlings passed away on Thursday, October 23, 2025, at the Ridge Hospital in Accra. She was 76.
In a statement, the Majority Caucus described her death as a great loss to the nation, extending heartfelt condolences to her family, particularly her daughter, Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Member of Parliament for Klottey-Korle and Chairperson of the Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliament.
“The Majority Caucus in Parliament of Ghana has learnt with shock the sudden passing of Her Excellency Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, former First Lady and wife of H.E. Flt. Lt. J.J. Rawlings. On behalf of all Majority Members of Parliament, the Rt. Hon. Speaker Bagbin, and the entire Parliament of Ghana, we extend our deepest condolences to the family and the nation. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. She paid her dues to this country,” the statement read.
Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings is fondly remembered as a pioneering champion for women’s empowerment and social justice, whose decades of advocacy through the 31st December Women’s Movement transformed the lives of many Ghanaian women.
She served as Ghana’s First Lady from 1981 to 2001 and later became a political leader in her own right.
