Rafatu Inusah has been elected as President of the Ghana Rugby Football Union for the next five years.

The former Board Member, who contested unopposed, replaces Herbert Mensah, now President of Africa Rugby.

Rafatu had been an athlete before becoming a coach and subsequently occupying administrative roles.

She is a member of the Women's Advisory Committee of Rugby Africa.

"We are going to tirelessly work together to make sure that Ghana Rugby is well represented," Rafatu said.

"I am happy and proud of all of us, not myself and very humbled."

She will be supported by Vice-President Emmanuel Bamfi.

Meanwhile, Prince Kwaku, Emmanuel Kalos, Abdul Saeed Samed, and SaCut Amenga-Etego were also elected unopposed as board members, with Anita Atieku taking up the role of Women’s Representative.

The elections drew the presence of key stakeholders, including World Rugby's Dave Gilbert and the acting Director General of the National Sports Authority, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah.

With their mandate now official, Rafatu and her team carry the hopes of further revitalizing Ghana Rugby, and ensuring a stronger representation on the continental stage.
