In a solemn show of unity and respect, a high-powered delegation from Ghana’s Parliament and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) visited the family of the late Ernest Yaw Kumi, the Member of Parliament for Akwatia, on Tuesday, July 8, to extend their condolences following his sudden and untimely death.

The delegation, led by the Clerk to Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, included leaders from both the Majority and Minority sides of the House, along with prominent figures from the NPP.

Their presence at the family residence reflected the gravity of the loss and the esteem in which the late MP was held.

At the gathering, the delegation consoled the grieving relatives, signed the book of condolence, and shared in the collective mourning of a man described as warm-hearted, promising, and deeply devoted to public service.

The atmosphere at the residence was heavy with sorrow. Mourners clad in traditional black and red attire filled the home, some clutching photographs and memorabilia that spoke to the profound impact Ernest Kumi had in his short but notable political journey. Emotional scenes unfolded as family members, party supporters, and community dwellers struggled to come to terms with the loss of a rising figure whose career had only just begun to flourish.

The book of condolence, opened to the public, offers a space for Ghanaians from all walks of life to honour Kumi’s memory and reflect on his contributions to his constituency and the country.

The passing of the Akwatia MP has left a deep void not only in his family and party but also in the national legislature, where he was beginning to establish himself as a passionate advocate for development and governance.
