Ebenezer Augustus Kwasi Akuoko

Ghanaian lawyer and politician (1928–2021)

Ebenezer Augustus Kwasi Akuoko (1928 – 2021) was a Ghanaian lawyer and politician. He was the Member of parliament for Mampong North in the Third Republic of Ghana. He became a member of parliament following a by-election due to the execution by firing squad of Afrifa and other senior military officers on 26 June 1979.[1] Afrifa had won the seat in the 1979 Ghanaian general election but never got to take his seat in parliament. His execution followed a coup d'état on 4 June 1979 which led to the formation of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council military government.[2] He was married to Sophia Nana Wiba Sackey with whom he had two daughters, Anastasia and Felicia. She died after a short illness in October 2019.[3] Akuoko died in October 2021 aged 93. He had thirteen children.[4][5]
