The New Patriotic Party Parliamentary Candidate for
Yapei-Kusawugu, Abu Kamara has lost his life in a car accident.
He is reported to have died on the spot alongside two others
in the crash.
The Parliamentary Candidate was returning to Tamale after a
campaign event when the incident happened near Datoyili at about 10:39 pm on
Friday, October 16, 2020.
The two remaining victims are said to be his aide and another
passenger who were with him in his car reported to have crashed into an
articulated truck.
The Savannah Regional branch of the NPP confirming his death
in a short statement said, “With a heavy heart, the Savannah Regional NPP and
the party at large announce the unfortunate demise of our Parliamentary
Candidate for the Yapei Kusowgu Constituency, Abu Kamara. He died with an aide,
Majeed Kotochi (Young Chief) and another occupant in an unfortunate accident at
the Datoyili police barrier. May their Souls Rest in Peace. Amen.”
His main contender in the December polls, John Abdulai
Jinapor of the National Democratic Congress in a statement on his Facebook
page described the news as sad and extended condolences to the affected family
of Mr. Kamara, the NPP, and the constituents of Yapei-Kusawagu.
The remains of Mr. Abu Kamara has already been deposited at
the Tamale Teaching Hospital.
The death of the NPP parliamentary candidate comes exactly a
week after the party lost its parliamentary candidate for Mfantseman East, Ekow
Quansah Hayford to a reported attack by armed robbers who shot the MP and his
driver to death.
