The National Council of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has named Peter Martey Agbeko as the Chairman of a three-member Elections Committee tasked with overseeing the association’s national and regional elections scheduled for June 2025.

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. Their appointment aligns with Article 43(b)(i) of the GJA Constitution (2004), which empowers the National Council to select the Elections Committee’s leadership and members.

Agbeko, a seasoned PR and media consultant, brings extensive experience in GJA electoral matters. His past roles include serving as Director of the Ghana International Press Centre (GIPC) and acting as the Chairman of the Elections Committee in 2022, during which he played a pivotal role in managing a contentious election process successfully.

Beatrice Asamani Savage, with over 30 years of journalism experience, has deep insights into GJA operations, making her a valuable addition to the committee. Kwaku Owusu Peprah, a 2010 Journalist of the Year, has extensive experience working at both national and regional levels, particularly in the regions, positioning him as a strong contributor to the election process.

Further details regarding the elections will be announced in due course.
