“The BDP is saddened to announce the passing on of former Member of Central Committee, Machana Ronald Shamukuni, following illness,” Rammidi said. Describing him as a committed cadre, the BDP said Shamukuni was “a thorough bred politician who gave his life to public service,” rising steadily through the ranks from a youth activist to one of the party’s senior figures.
