In a significant development, the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) has named Philip Kwabena Agyemang, popularly known as Roman Fada, a radio presenter as its new presidential candidate for the upcoming December elections.
This announcement comes after the Electoral Commission directed GFP to choose a new candidate following the passing of its founder and previous presidential candidate, Akua Donkor.
Roman Fada, a renowned radio personality with Accra’s DL FM, confirmed his candidacy during an interview on Monday, November 4, 2024.
He shared that his selection was the result of extensive discussions with the party’s leadership to ensure a smooth transition.
As Akua Donkor’s running mate for the December elections, Roman Fada was the natural successor to carry forward her vision for the party.
“It’s true, and we all know what happened a week ago when Akua Donkor passed around 10 pm. May her soul rest in peace. As her running mate for the 2024 elections, it was deemed fitting by the party’s leadership for me to step in as her replacement,” Roman Fada stated on Atinka FM’s morning show.
