The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has expressed sorrow over the passing of Ghanaian highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba.
In a statement signed by the party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on July 26, 2025, the NPP described Daddy Lumba as an “iconic music legend” whose remarkable contributions to the Ghanaian music industry touched countless lives.
The party praised his ability to connect with people from all walks of life, describing him as a national treasure whose music brought joy, comfort, and inspiration to millions.
The NPP acknowledged Daddy Lumba‘s significant role in its political campaigns, particularly through the famous track “Nana Ye Winner”, which featured prominently in the party’s 2008, 2012, and 2016 election campaigns.
“The power and inspiration behind those songs were acknowledged even by our political opponents,” the statement noted.
Describing his death as a significant national loss, the NPP extended its condolences to the family, friends, and fans of the highlife legend, assuring them of its solidarity in this period of mourning.
“In the years to come, Daddy Lumba will be remembered not only for his immense contributions to music but also for his role in uplifting and uniting the Ghanaian spirit,” the statement added.
“May his soul rest in perfect peace until the last day of resurrection.”
