Barring any last-minute hitches, members of the Ghana Journalists Association will go to the polls on Friday, June 24, 2022, to elect new executives to stir the affairs of the association for the next four years.

The elections, originally scheduled to take place in 2020, following the expiration of the term of the old administration, have been characterised by controversies, petitions, and counter-petitions, compelling the Elections Committee to reschedule it.

On Friday, a total of 11 aspirants will contest national positions – President, General Secretary, Public Affairs and Organising Secretary.
