Heart attack killed Akwatia MP Ernest Kumi – Report

Akwatia Member of Parliament, Ernest Yaw Kumi, has died, with sources attributing his death to a heart attack. The incident occurred on Monday, July 7, 2025.

His death comes amid ongoing legal controversies surrounding his election as MP for the Akwatia Constituency.

Kumi had been facing legal challenges following his swearing-in as MP on January 7, 2025, despite a court injunction barring him from assuming office. The injunction was the result of a lawsuit filed by National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate and former Akwatia MP, Henry Boakye-Yiadom, contesting the legitimacy of the election results.
