The Central regional elections officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has passed on Tuesday afternoon at the 37 Military Hospital.
Yaw Asiedu, a Law student, was involved in a fatal accident on the Cape Coast – Winneba road together with the party’s regional treasurer Eric Entsuah.
The two were sending the party’s copy of the just ended elections results declaration forms popularly known as ‘pink sheets’ to the party’s headquarters in Accra when the pick up they were travelling in crashed, leaving the other officer in a critical condition at the 37 Military Hospital.
The two were first sent to the Winneba Specialists and Trauma Hospital but were later referred to the 37 Military Hospital where Asiedu gave up the ghost.
The accident has shocked many in the Central region, especially across the political divide as Asiedu was a politician who had a great sense of appeal across the political divides.
The news of his death was confirmed by the party’s regional chairman who described his death as a big blow to the party as he is a “hard working gentleman and a great asset to the party”.
He served as special aide to the former regional minister of the Central region Hon. K. T. Addo before his appointment as the party’s regional elections officer.
