The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been thrown into mourning following the death of Sylvester Amedza, Deputy Secretary of the party in the Banda Constituency.
Mr Amedza passed away just months after being elected to the constituency executive position, bringing an abrupt end to his growing political career and active involvement in the party.
Party colleagues have paid tribute to him, describing him as a dedicated and ambitious member who was committed to the welfare of young people within the party.
Before becoming Deputy Secretary, Amedza was actively involved in the Tertiary Students’ Confederacy Network (TESCON) and served as President of the organisation at Abetifi College of Education.
During his tenure, he was noted for his efforts to support TESCON members and promote their welfare.
His political ambitions extended beyond student leadership. In 2023, he contested the Assembly Member election but was unsuccessful.
He returned to electoral politics this year and successfully contested the Deputy Secretary position in the Banda Constituency, taking up the role only months before his death.
Colleagues have since expressed grief over his passing and remembered him for his dedication to the NPP and commitment to those he worked with.
