President |
On Friday, Albert Kwabena Dwumfur became president of
the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA).
Tobinco Group's general affairs manager and current national
secretary has defeated Ghanaian Times editor and former association
secretary Dave Agbenu and journalist and communications consultant
Geyhart Edem Mensah.
Dwumfur received 233 votes, Edem Mensah received 181
votes, and Agbenu received 142 votes.
Of the 556 valid votes, 3 were rejected. Incumbent
President Kofi Yeboah defeated AdomFM's Akwasi Agyemeng with
348 vs. 208 votes to maintain the Secretary-General's
post.
GTV's Dominic Hlordzi has taken over the organization's
secretary with 300 votes. He defeated rival Mary Mensah,
the current Daily Graphics Foreign Affairs and Supplement
Editor, who received 255 votes.
Mary Mensah, a longtime crime reporter for Daily Graphics, is a public
relations manager at GJA and has served for two terms. GBC's Rebecca Ekpe became
GJA's new public affairs officer after defeating Ghana
News Agency's Caesar Abagali to Wa's office.
The Vice President and Accounting positions were the
only non-alternate positions currently held by Linda
Asante Agyei and Audrey Dekalu, respectively.
More than 800 members of the Ghana Journalists Association were scheduled to vote on
Friday to elect their new leaders. However, a total of 556 votes were cast.
