Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Hohoe, Bernice Adiku Heloo, has passed away. The tragic incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, December 25, following a brief illness.

Heloo served as the MP for the Hohoe Constituency in the 6th and 7th Parliaments of Ghana’s 4th Republic, from January 7, 2013, to January 6, 2021.

She was also a former president of the Society for Women and AIDS in Africa and the founder of Prolink, a Ghanaian NGO.

Her death has left the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Volta Region in mourning. While regional executives have confirmed the news, an official statement is yet to be released.
