Takoradi, Feb. 9, GNA - The Western Regional office of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), on Monday, reported the unexpected death of its acting Regional Chairman, Mr Benjamin Kwaw,

Mr Charles Bissue, Regional Secretary of the party, confirmed his untimely death to the media in Takoradi on Monday and said it occurred at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital after he allegedly collapsed at his private residence at the Airport Ridge in Takoradi.

He said Mr. Kwaw was expected to chair a Regional Executive Committee meeting on Monday, but the event was cancelled following the sad news. The deceased was reported to have returned from a tour of some constituencies in the Region recently.

NPP members and sympathizers including Mr. John Boadu, acting National Secretary who was in Takoradi to participate in the meeting on Monday, thronged the residence of the deceased to console the family.

The deceased was the substantive first vice regional chairman of the Party, but had been acting as the regional chairman because the substantive chairman, Mr. Dickson Atta Nketsia, popularly known as Kendicks, is reported indisposed and receiving medical treatment outside the country. GNA
