The Government of Ghana has declared three days of national mourning following the passing of Her Excellency Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, former First Lady of the Republic of Ghana.
In a statement issued by the Office of the President and signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Spokesperson to the President and Minister for Government Communications, President John Dramani Mahama announced that the period of national mourning will begin today, Friday, October 24, and end on Sunday, October 26, 2025.
During this period, all national flags will fly at half-mast across public buildings, government installations, and diplomatic missions both in Ghana and abroad. The gesture is to honour the memory of Mrs. Agyeman-Rawlings and acknowledge her distinguished service to the nation.
Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings is remembered for her lifelong dedication to women’s empowerment, child welfare, and social development. As the founder of the 31st December Women’s Movement, she played a pioneering role in promoting gender equality and improving the lives of countless Ghanaian women and children.
“The Government extends its deepest condolences to the family, her children, and all who mourn this irreplaceable loss,” the statement read.
Mrs. Agyeman-Rawlings, wife of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings, leaves behind a lasting legacy of public service, advocacy, and national development.
May her soul rest in perfect peace.
