Ghana is in mourning following the passing of Dr. Mustapha Ahmed, the former Minister of Youth and Sports. Dr. Ahmed, aged 63, passed away on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, in Accra after a prolonged battle with illness.
Dr. Ahmed’s life was marked by significant contributions as a soldier, medical practitioner, and politician. His tenure as the Minister of Youth and Sports in Ghana’s fourth republic was relatively short, spanning only eight months.

Prior to his ministerial role, Dr. Mustapha Ahmed had a distinguished career as a Member of Parliament (MP), representing the Ayawaso East Constituency from 2001 to 2013 on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ticket.
