Watch as mourners jam to Mahama’s campaign song at Akua Donkor’s one-week celebration

The one-week celebration for the late Akua Donkor, the flagbearer of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), was held on Thursday, November 28, 2024, in her hometown of Ejuratia, located in the Kwabre East District of the Ashanti Region.

Hundreds of mourners gathered to pay their respects to the late presidential candidate, and, as is typical at Ghanaian funerals, there was plenty of dancing and music.

A viral video from the event shows the reaction of mourners when the DJ played the 2024 campaign song of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Nacee’s ‘Kwen Kwen’.

The crowd, including both the young and old, and even some attendees wearing New Patriotic Party (NPP) paraphernalia, got into excitement and displayed all manner of dance moves.

About Akua Donkor’s death:
