Former President of Ghana, Mr Jerry Rawlings, is dead.
He died on Thursday during an illness suspected to be COVID-19 at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) in Accra.
He was 73 years old.
Ghanaweb, an authoritative news agency in Ghana, disclosed the death of Rawlings, although it said details of the former president’s death are still sketchy.
Just last month, October 24, the former president buried his mother who died at the age of 104.
