Colonel Isaac Amponsah, the aide-de-camp (ADC) to the outgoing President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, recently collapsed during a live broadcast at the Parliament.
The incident was captured in a trending video post which made the rounds on X on Friday.
Col Amponsah slumped while the outgoing president was giving his final State of the Nation address at the parliament.
He was subsequently helped out of the premises where the incident occurred by security operatives and medical personnel.

Details on why the ADC collapsed are still sketchy as of filing the report.
In December 2024, former Ghana president, John Mahama was announced as the winner of the country’s presidential election by the electoral commission.
He had earlier been voted out of office in 2016 by what was then the highest margin in the post-independence history of the west African nation amid corruption scandals and an energy crisis that had crippled the country.
He, however, made a comeback, winning 56.55% of the total valid votes cast according to the country’s Electoral Commission, securing the largest margin of victory in a Ghanaian election since 1996.
