The family of late Emmanuel Max-Voy, parliamentary aspirant for the Ashaiman Constituency on the ticket of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has scotched speculation over the death of their beloved.

They’ve denied all rumours that emerged following the death of Max-Voy asking the public to put an end to the speculation.

“There is no postmortem yet on the death of our brother and I don’t know where they are getting that rumours from. People are saying he died through kidney failure, cancer and all that; some people are even alluding to the fact that he was eliminated by his opponents in the race. All those speculations are not true. We  have lost a dear one and we want to mourn him and give him a befitting burial; they should stop all the rumours,” brother of the deceased, Eric Brown Voy said in an interaction with Kweku Owusu Adjei on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 Fm Tuesday.

An earlier press release explained that Mr Max-Voy passed away at the Ridge Hospital on Sunday 4 August 2019 “after a short illness”.

The family in that Press statement cleared that the parliamentary aspirant, who was a member of the Finance Committee of the party in the Greater Accra Region “did not die through kidney failure”.

Meanwhile, a book of condolence has been opened to the general public at the Martin Luther King Jr. School, Lebanon branch and New Happy Home Academy, Ashaiman New-Town from Tuesday, 6 August to Sunday 10 August 2019.

Mr Max-Voy was the founder and CEO of Martin Luther King Jr. Co. Ltd.
