Senior News Editor at the Kumasi unit of The Multimedia Group, Kofi Adu Domfeh, has emerged victorious once again in the re-run of the Ashanti Regional Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Chairmanship race.
The re-run, held on Friday, August 22, followed a petition by his opponent, Georgina Ama Ankomah, who challenged the outcome of the first contest.
She argued that irregularities in the GJA voters’ register, particularly regarding the eligibility of some members, undermined the fairness of the process.
Her petition to the GJA’s Elections Dispute Resolution Committee was upheld, prompting the Association to order a re-run of the presidential race only, while results for the other executive positions remained intact.
In the initial election, Domfeh narrowly secured victory with 16 votes, edging out Georgina Ama Ankomah, who garnered 15 votes.
The re-run, although tense, reaffirmed his win with 20 votes against his opponent who had 11 votes.
