The late Lee Ocran
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) offered its condolences to the families of three of its members.
Johnson Asiedu-Nketia, secretary general of the party, solemnly announced last Friday that the party had lost three compatriots in the week.
It is Lee Ocran, former Minister of Education and High Commissioner in South Africa, who died Thursday morning at dawn, after battling the disease for a while.
The others are Dr. Charles Korankye, a member of the Central Region Council of Elders and Wasiu Iddrisu, who was shot dead last Monday by Hawk Vigilante group members linked to the party at its regional headquarters in Kumasi.
Mr. Ocran, a former member of parliament from Jomoro constituency, was also the former vice-president of the NDC.
In 2004, he became a member of the party's manifesto committee and was also chairman of the board of directors of the Volta River Authority, under the regime of John Dramani Mahama.
