The 13th wreath-laying ceremony and Memorial service for the late Ghanaian president, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, was held at the Asomdwe Park in Accra on Thursday, July 25, 2025.
The event is held annually by the government of Ghana to honour the memory of the former president, who passed away on July 24, 2012, at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra, three days after his 68th birthday.
Professor John Evans Atta Mills, who was still in office at the time, had been rushed to the hospital to seek medical treatment. He had already been suffering from throat cancer before his untimely demise.
Many important political figures, including Vice President Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia, and others, attended the public event.
Professor John Evans Atta Mills's surviving family members, including his only son, Sam Kofi Atta Mills, and his beautiful wife, Michelle Nash, were also in attendance at the event held to honour the late president's memory.
