The former vice-President of the Republic of Ghana Alhaji Aliu Mahama has died in the capital Accra after suffering from a short illness believed to be heart disease at the age of 66.

Accra / NationalTurk – Mr. Mahama was the vice president in the New Patriotic Party administration led by former president John Kuffour from 7th January 2001 to 7th January, 2009.

It was reported in the Ghanaian media that the former vice president has died on the 14 November 2012 at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra but the story was denied by the family in what they described as not death but he was in a “Critical Condition’’ with life support.

But the former Vice president died early on Friday morning at the same hospital he was reported to have died earlier.
He was the 3rd vice president of the 4th republican constitution of Ghana.

The current President John Dramani Mahama who bears the same sir name with the late former vice president has declared a state of mourning.

Former president John Kuffour has called on all Ghanaians to join the family of the late former Vice president, for according to him he was a true statesman who served the country with all his heart.

“I called him a brother, we will all miss him, It is a very bad new, we have lost an outstanding Ghanaian ‘’ the former President added.

Almost everybody in the country is shocked by the sad news as the country lost its sitting President John Atta Mills in July this year making people asking why the country is loosing its leaders like that.

The former Vice President will be buried at the Military Cemetery in accordance with the Islamic law since he was a Muslim.
