The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially mourned the passing of legendary highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosu, widely known as Daddy Lumba, describing him as “a symbol of cultural pride” and “an iconic music legend.”
In a statement issued on Saturday, July 26, 2025, and signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and fans across the country.
“We mourn this great loss together with his family, friends, and the millions of fans who found joy, comfort, and meaning in his music,” the statement read. “In this difficult time, we stand in solidarity with all who are grieving, and we pray for strength and peace for his loved ones.”
The NPP highlighted Lumba’s contributions to the party’s political journey, especially through the famous “Nana Ye Winner” campaign track used in 2008, 2012, and 2016. “The power and inspiration behind those songs were acknowledged even by our political opponents,” they noted.
The party further stressed that Daddy Lumba’s influence transcended music, saying, “He will be remembered not only for his immense contributions to music but also for his role in uplifting and uniting the Ghanaian spirit.”
“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and fans as we honour the life and legacy of this distinguished music star,” the statement concluded. “May his soul rest in perfect peace until the last day of resurrection. Amen.”
