Ghana’s President John Atta Mills dies
Ghanaian President John Atta Mills has died. He was 68.
President Atta Mills, who was suffering from throat cancer, died yesterday in Accra. A statement from his office said President Atta Mills died a few hours after being taken ill, but did not give details.
“It is with a heavy heart . . . that we announce the sudden and untimely death of the President of the Republic of Ghana,” the statement said.
Mr Atta Mills ruled the West African country since 2009. The BBC’s Sammy Darko, who was at the military
hospital in Accra, says Mr Atta Mills’ voice had been degenerating in the last few months.
A presidential aide told Reuters yesterday that the leader had complained of suffering from pains on Monday evening and died yesterday afternoon.
According to the Ghanaian Constitution, Vice-President John Dramani Mahama is to take over as interim leader. Presidential elections are set for December in a country seen as a rare example of stable democracy in West Africa.
The late president had recently travelled to the United States for what had been described as a routine medical check-up.
