The Progressive Alliance for Ghana (PAG) has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, describing her as a remarkable woman whose contributions to national development and women’s empowerment will be remembered for generations.

In a statement signed by its Chairman, Professor Thaddeus Ulzen, the group extended condolences to the family of the late First Lady, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and all Ghanaians who were touched by her life and legacy.

According to the statement, Nana Konadu was widely regarded as “a champion of women’s rights and a pillar of public activism,” whose initiatives transformed the landscape of women’s participation in politics and community development.

“Her commitment to advancing the cause of women left an indelible mark on Ghana’s history,” the statement read. “May the Almighty grant her eternal rest.”

Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, wife of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings, was the founder of the 31st December Women’s Movement, through which she championed gender equality, education, and the empowerment of women across the country.
