The one week funeral observation of the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart, Ama Busia has been held at Abelemkpe in Accra.

The service is led by the Methodist Church of Ghana.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his wife, Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his wife and other NPP bigwigs were at the venue to pay respect to the 87-year-old women.

The sister of the late Kofi Abrefa Busia, who served as Ghana’s Prime Minister in the Second Republic, died on Tuesday, December 12, 2023, after a brief illness.

Ama Busia played a crucial role in the formation of the Northern People’s Party led by Dombo, which later merged with Danquah and Busia to form NPP.

She became a Council of State member when the NPP won power with John Agyekum Kufuor in 2000.
