Ekow Hayford (24 December 1970 – 9 October 2020) was a Ghanaian politician and member of the Seventh Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana representing the Mfantseman Constituency in the Central Region on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He was the chief executive officer and Manager of MODISA Lodge and MANTRAC Ghana Limited respectively prior to going into politics.
Reports indicate that Hayford was incidentally identified as the MP during the robbery and was specifically targeted and shot by the robbers, who blamed him for the problems being faced by the people in the country.
She was nominated by the NPP to replace her husband as the party's candidate for the Mfantseman seat in the 2020 Ghanaian general election.
The second, Sarah Quansah Hayford, also has two children and was present at the initial funeral rites performed at Mankessim.
