Cecilia Johnson, one of the prominent women in the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has died.
Family sources confirmed her death on Monday, though details surrounding the cause were not immediately disclosed.
Johnson, 79, was a veteran of Ghana’s political scene, remembered for her long service in government and civic life.
She served as General Secretary of the 31st December Women’s Movement, a group credited with championing women’s empowerment during the 1980s and 1990s.
She later became Minister of Local Government under former President Jerry John Rawlings, and went on to chair the Council of State, Ghana’s highest advisory body to the presidency.
Her career earned her recognition as part of the NDC’s “old guard” – the generation of leaders who shaped the party from its revolutionary roots to a dominant force in Ghanaian politics.
Tributes are expected from across the political divide, with her passing marking the end of a chapter in Ghana’s democratic journey.
