Philip Kwabena Agyemang, widely recognised as Roman Fada, has been officially elected as the new presidential candidate for the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP).
This leadership change follows the untimely passing of Akua Donkor, the party’s founder and previous candidate.
Roman Fada, a prominent radio and TV personality with Accra-based Atinka FM, confirmed his candidacy during an interview on the same network on Monday, November 4.
In his interview, Roman Fada explained that his selection as the party’s flagbearer was the result of extensive consultations within the GFP’s leadership.
He emphasised that the party undertook a thorough and inclusive process to ensure a seamless transition following Akua Donkor’s passing.
This careful approach was aimed at maintaining the party’s stability and momentum as it prepares for the December elections.
Roman Fada highlighted that his nomination was significantly influenced by his previous role as Akua Donkor’s running mate for the upcoming elections.
Serving alongside Donkor provided him with valuable experience and a deep understanding of the party’s vision and objectives.
“It is true and we all know what happened a week ago today around 10 pm when Akua Donkor passed. God rest her soul. As you know, I was the running mate for the party’s 2024 presidential candidate ahead of the elections."
“She is no longer with us, so the party’s leadership deemed it right for me to replace Akua Donkor in the elections. So, if you heard I am the new flagbearer for the Ghana Freedom Party,” he said.
