Agyei Frempong, thought to be in his late thirties, was not a trained electrician and was working on an electricity pole when he received a fatal shock, causing him to fall.
Witnesses reported that local residents immediately rushed him to the Eastern Regional Hospital; however, he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the facility.
A carpenter by trade, George Agyei Frempong was elected as the assembly member for the Oguaa electoral area in the most recent district assembly elections, where he was well regarded for his commitment to his community.
This incident is reminiscent of one involving Manasseh Addison Sackey, known as Teacher Obour, a 34-year-old headteacher who tragically drowned while campaigning for re-election in December of last year.
