President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed condolences to the bereaved family of the late former National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Kwabena Agyei.

The NDC former National Chairman died Tuesday morning at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital in Accra, at age 76.

The President described the late NDC bigwig as a "man of strong opinions", who during his era as Majority Leader in the 2nd parliament of the fourth Republic "gave good leadership to the House".

President Akufo-Addo also commiserated with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) over their loss.

"Sad to hear of the passing of Dr Kwabena Adjei. He was a friend, whom I met in the 2nd parliament of the 4th Republic. He was then Majority Leader, and gave good leadership to the House. Man of strong opinions, he was a formidable opponent, and I enjoyed very much our interactions. His relationship with our “boss”, the late, great JH Mensah, then Minority Leader, provided a big boost for the work of Parliament and for the advancement of our democracy. He will be missed. My condolences to his party, the National Democratic Congress, and to his family. May his soul rest in perfect peace," he posted.
