Ahafo Ano South West DCE, Abubakar Sedik, Passes On
The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Ahafo Ano South West in the Ashanti Region, Hon. Abubakar Sedik, has passed away.
According to the Assembly, the DCE died on Sunday evening, September 20, 2026, shortly after stakeholders met with the Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Hon. Mahama Ayariga, in Kumasi.
“Rest well, Hon. Abubakar Sedik. You served your people with a good heart,” the Assembly wrote in a Facebook post.
The Local Government Minister was in Kumasi to engage stakeholders on the completion of the Kejetia Phase Two Redevelopment Project.
Mr. Sedik is reported to have taken ill after returning to Mankranso from the meeting and could not survive.
His district has been in the news in the past week after he was accused of leading an attempt to demolish a school facility at Mankranso to make way for the construction of a 24-Hour Economy Market — an allegation he denied.
He was the NDC parliamentary candidate for the area in the 2024 elections.
Meanwhile, the Ashanti Regional Minister has expressed profound sadness over his sudden demise, describing it as a great loss to his family, the people of Ahafo Ano South West, his colleagues, the Ashanti Region, and the Government as a whole.
He extended his deepest condolences to the bereaved family, loved ones, colleagues and constituents of the late DCE, and prayed for strength and comfort for them during this difficult period.
“Rest well, Hon. DCE,” he added.
