“Sad to hear the passing of Dr Kwabena Adjei. He was a friend, whom I met in the 2nd parliament of the 4th Republic. He was then-Majority Leader and gave good leadership to the House,” the President said. 

President Akufo-Addo lauded Dr Adjei’s ability to relate well with people fostering a good platform one-time Minority Leader, JH Mensah which “provided a big boost for the work of Parliament and for the advancement of our democracy.”

“He will be missed. My condolences to his party, the National Democratic Congress, and to his family. May his soul rest in perfect peace,” the President concluded.
