BREAKING: Former Bantama MP Okyem Aboagye dies aged 49

Former Member of Parliament for the Bantama Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Daniel Okyem Aboagye, has sadly passed away, as reported by 3News.com. This unfortunate event transpired in the early hours of Saturday, September 23, following a brief battle with illness.

During his time as a parliamentarian, he actively participated as a member of the Finance Committee, until he ultimately lost his seat to Francis Asenso-Boakye in the NPP primaries leading up to the 2020 general elections.

Mr. Okyem Aboagye was also recognized as the Chief Executive Officer of the renowned transport company, 2M Express.
