The BBC reports:
Ghana’s President [John Atta Mills], who was suffering from throat cancer, has died in the capital, Accra.
A statement from his office said the 68-year-old died a few hours after being taken ill, but did not give details.
Vice President Dramani Mahama is due to be sworn in as the new president.
Ghana is scheduled to hold general elections later this year. With the passing of Mr. Mills it is unclear who will become the ruling party’s presidential candidate (more on this soon).
