Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley shared a deeply emotional note on X (formerly Twitter) about her father, Ajit Singh Randhawa, who passed away on Father’s Day, June 16.
Haley posted a tribute to her father, describing him as the "smartest, sweetest, kindest" person and shared a photo of the two together.
Nikki Haley writes:
"This morning I had to say goodbye to the smartest, sweetest, kindest, most decent man I have ever known. My heart is heavy knowing he is gone," the 52-year-old wrote on X.
"He taught his kids the importance of faith, hard work, and grace. He was an amazing husband of 64 years, a loving grandfather and great-grandfather, and the best father to his four children. He was such a blessing to all of us. Happy Father’s Day Dad. We will miss you dearly," she continued.
Reports indicate that Haley's father had previously been diagnosed with cancer. Both her parents, who migrated to rural South Carolina in 1969, came from affluent families in India.
Randhawa was a professor at Voorhees College in Denmark, South Carolina, while Haley's mother, Raj Kaur Randhawa, taught sixth-grade social studies before becoming an entrepreneur.
He was a steadfast supporter of Nikki throughout her political career and attended the launch of her presidential bid in Charleston in 2023.
In January, Haley paused her campaign to be with her ailing father, who was battling cancer.
The former SC governor, who was a contender in the Republican presidential race alongside former President Donald Trump, announced her withdrawal from the race in March.
