Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, has paid an emotional tribute to the late Defence Minister, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, describing him as a medical doctor whose intellect and problem-solving skills played a pivotal role in the ruling National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) victory in the 2024 general elections.
Speaking to JoyNews at the funeral ceremony of the late Minister and six others who have lost their lives in last week’s military helicopter crash, Mr. Gunu recounted Dr. Omane Boamah’s exceptional approach to the 2024 general elections.

“He is one person who brought his experience and expertise as a medical practitioner to bear on our electoral architecture, and he was able to dimistified the rumors that the NDC was not able to collate its election in 2020. So when it came to the 2024 election, it was like a medical officer, took the whole election system to a laboratory to diagnose and found a solution and made recommendations on what to do, especially with regard to ballot accounting and other things that will help us win the election and in fact he did very well,” Mr. Gunu eulogised.
The minister noted that Dr Omane Boamah’s ability to merge medical precision with political strategy reflected his rare blend of professional expertise and patriotic commitment.
He emphasised that his role should not be forgotten. He also mourned the other six, describing their loss as the loss of a national asset.
