President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the late former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, will be honoured with a state funeral.
Mahama announced on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, when he paid a condolence visit to the grieving family at their residence in Accra.
Reflecting on her exceptional legacy, Mahama underscored her distinction as the longest-serving First Lady in Ghanaian history, serving for 19 years, a record he said is unlikely to be broken under the current constitutional limits.
He also signed the book of condolence opened in her memory, joined by his wife, Lordina Mahama.
Nana Konadu, who passed on October 23, 2025, was known for her pioneering leadership in women’s advocacy and her role in founding the 31st December Women’s Movement.
Her death continues to draw mourners to the residence of the Rawlings family, coupled with heartfelt tributes.
