The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has taken a significant step towards ensuring the success of its 2025 national and regional elections. The National Council of the GJA has appointed Peter Martey Agbeko as the Chairman of a three-member Elections Committee.
Agbeko, a seasoned PR and Media Consultant, brings a wealth of experience to the role. He has previously served as the Director of the Ghana International Press Centre (GIPC) and played a crucial role in steering the 2022 elections committee to a successful conclusion.
Joining Agbeko on the committee are Beatrice Asamani Savage, Director of Editorial at the Ghana News Agency (GNA), and Kwaku Owusu Peprah, Channel Manager of Joy News. Asamani Savage boasts over three decades of journalism experience, while Owusu Peprah has worked extensively in the regions, earning him the title of Journalist of the Year in 2010.
The appointments are in line with Article 43(b)(i) of the GJA Constitution 2004, which mandates the National Council to appoint the Chairman and other members of the Elections Committee.
The GJA has assured that further details of the elections will be communicated in due course. With Agbeko at the helm, the committee is poised to ensure a smooth and successful electoral process for the GJA.
