Hans Orlando Prade (23 July 1938 – 3 April 2020) was a Surinamese diplomat and politician.[1]
After graduating from Leiden University, Prade returned to Suriname, and founded the short lived Nationale Volkspartij together with Ronald Venetiaan. Later Prade became a member of the Progressieve Nationale Partij. During the coup, Prade was a commentator on Suriname radio.[2]
Prade served as the Surinamese ambassador to the Netherlands from 24 December 1980[3] until 1 June 1982. His political and undiplomatic statements were not appreciated by the regime and he was dismissed on 1 June 1982.[2]
In 1986,[4] Prade became chairman of the Rekenkamer van Suriname, a position which he held for about 10 years.[5]
In 1991, he tried to run for President of Suriname, but lost out to his former college friend Venetiaan.[4]
In 1998,[5] Prade retired and decided to live with his family in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Prade died on 3 April 2020 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands due to COVID-19, aged 81.[5]
