Mr Dominic Hlordzi was also elected as General Secretary with 64 percent of the vote.
Chairman of the Elections Planning Committee, Mr Peter Martey Agbeko, expressed appreciation to all stakeholders for ensuring a smooth and credible electoral process.
“On behalf of this committed team, I am pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the 2025 National and Regional Executive Elections of the Ghana Journalists Association, conducted peacefully and credibly across the nation,” he said.
He extended his congratulations to the newly elected officials and commended all candidates for their participation.
“We extend heartfelt congratulations to all elected candidates. Your victory is a call to service. To those who were not successful your courage to step forward is commendable. We urge you to stay involved. The GJA needs your voice and your commitment.
“The elections are over. Let us now close ranks, build bridges, and move forward in unity under the leadership of our new executives,” Mr Agbeko stated.
