He thus was the only president of the third republic of Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>In 1992, at the end of the\u00a0PNDC\u00a0military rule that overthrew him, Dr. Limann once again found himself involved in politics and stood as the candidate of the\u00a0People&#8217;s National Convention\u00a0in the\u00a0presidential election\u00a0that year.<\/p>\n<p>He received 6.7% of the popular vote in the elections, coming third.<sup id=\"cite_ref-2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hilla_Limann#cite_note-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0He remained active among the Nkrumahist political movement in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p><b>Death<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Limann had chronic health problems and later died of natural causes.
