Assin North Independent Parliamentary hopeful Elkanah Frederick Ayittey has demonstrated solidarity with the family of the late Ghanaian footballer Dominic Frimpong following the player’s tragic death after armed attackers opened fire on a team bus on April 12, 2026.

During a visit to the bereaved family at Assin Dansame, Mr Ayittey presented relief items including bottled water, soft drinks and a cash donation to support the family in this difficult period. He also conveyed his heartfelt condolences and renewed his commitment to stand with the family as they mourn their loss.

The visit was marked by emotion as family members of the late footballer expressed gratitude for the gesture, describing it as a sign of compassion and genuine concern. They commended Mr Frederick Elkanah Ayittey for what they said has been his consistent dedication to the welfare of people within the constituency and encouraged him to sustain his humanitarian and development-driven interventions.

Speaking during the visit, Mr Ayittey reiterated that leadership must be measured not only by words but by practical support that touches lives, stressing his resolve to continue responding to the needs of people across Assin North.

The visit adds to a growing record of social interventions associated with the independent parliamentary hopeful.

He has also been linked to community support initiatives in areas experiencing water challenges, where he pledged assistance toward improving access to clean and safe water for residents.

For many residents, his support for the Frimpong family reflects a leadership approach rooted in compassion, direct engagement and a commitment to development. Observers say the gesture goes beyond sympathy and reinforces a broader vision of responsive leadership that prioritises the wellbeing of the people.
