On Saturday, July 22, Sherry Ayittey, as she was more well known, passed away.
Nii Kofi Ayittey of Akwetey Nanta of Osu Alata, the family’s head of household, made this announcement.
Ascending to the position of National Vice Chairperson in 2018 after joining the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as a founding member, Dr. Sherry Ayittey.

She ran for and won the position of National Vice Chairperson when the party lost power.
