“Shocking! Oh No!! PK Was Active Only last Saturday” – Mahama Cries

Former President John Dramani Mahama has described as “shocking” the death of his former Vice, Kwesi Amissah-Arthur.

John Mahama in a tweet said “Shocking! No! PK was only last Saturday actively involved in our party’s constituency elections in the Central Region. Very sad Friday!”  

Mr Amissah-Arthur became the vice-president a week after Mahama was sworn in as president after the sudden death of President John Atta Mills on 24 July 2012.

Amissah-Arthur was sworn in as vice-president on 6 August 2012, following vetting by Parliament.

He died on Friday, 29 June 2018.

Reports indicated that he collapsed at Airforce Gym on Friday morning during a workout session, and was rushed to the 37 Military Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
