ACCRA, Ghana – The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Elections Committee has officially released the final list of members in good standing, which will serve as the voters’ register for the upcoming GJA National and Regional Elections scheduled for Monday, June 30, 2025. The committee emphasized that only members on this validated list will be eligible to cast their votes in the elections.
The release follows a comprehensive verification process in adherence to the GJA Constitution and electoral guidelines. Members are encouraged to review their status on the list and promptly direct any queries or observations to the Elections Committee for resolution.
In a related development, the deadline for submitting nominations for the Volta Region Vice Chairmanship position was set for 5:00 pm on Monday, June 16, 2025. This extension was granted after the withdrawal of a previously nominated candidate, providing a final opportunity for eligible candidates to put themselves forward. The vetting of these nominated candidates is scheduled virtually for Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at 11:00 am, where candidates are expected to present their credentials and answer questions from the Elections Committee.
Furthermore, the GJA Elections Committee has clarified voting arrangements for members in Ghana’s new regions due to low membership numbers. Members in the North East Region will vote in Tamale, those in Western North will vote in Takoradi, Oti Region members will cast their ballots in Ho, and Ahafo Region members will vote in Sunyani. Bono East members are directed to vote in Techiman. The committee, chaired by Peter Martey Agbeko, reiterated its commitment to ensuring a transparent, fair, and inclusive electoral process, urging cooperation from all members for a peaceful election season.
