Sullemana Seidu, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Constituency Organizer for Akatsi South in Ghana's Volta Region, has died after a short illness. He passed away on Friday, September 25, 2026, at the Abor Sacred Heart Hospital. Seidu was a dedicated grassroots mobilizer who served the party through years of organizational work. The Akatsi South NDC described him as a loyal and committed member.
Seidu held multiple roles within both the party and public service prior to his death. He previously served as Assemblymember for the Wute Electoral Area and was the Administrator of the Akatsi South National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) Office. The Akatsi South NDC paid tribute to Seidu, describing his death as a profound loss. The party noted that he possessed knowledge of branches and polling stations across the constituency.
The Akatsi South NDC Constituency Executives, in an official statement, portrayed Seidu as someone who served the party through "thick and thin," demonstrating consistent commitment and sacrifice in his organizational role. They highlighted his selflessness, stating that he regularly committed his personal time, resources, and even his own vehicle to party activities. The party extended its condolences to Seidu's wife, children, and wider family.
In response to Seidu's death, the Akatsi South Constituency Secretariat suspended all campaign-related activities within the constituency with immediate effect. The order, reached in consultation with the Municipal Chief Executive and the Member of Parliament for Akatsi South, Bernard Ahiafor, covers branch meetings, aspirant campaign activities, and other political gatherings.
The Secretariat stated that the suspension is meant to give party members space to grieve and to stand in solidarity with Seidu's bereaved family. Members have been encouraged to continue sharing tributes and memories of the late organizer through party platforms. Further communications regarding the length of the suspension and funeral arrangements would follow after consultations.
The NDC fraternity has been hit with another loss, as Gonazoo Abdulai, a member of the NDC Communications Team and the treasurer of the Savelugu Constituency, died in an automobile accident on August 29, 2025. Ghanaians have flooded social media with condolences for the family and the NDC fraternity.
The Akatsi South NDC's loss of Sullemana Seidu has sent shockwaves through the party and the community. The party is expected to make further announcements regarding the funeral arrangements and the resumption of campaign activities. For now, the focus is on honoring the memory of Seidu and supporting his bereaved family.
