Respected broadcast journalist and editor, Akwasi Agyeman, has officially launched his campaign in the Upper East Region as he seeks the position of National Secretary of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA). Apexnewsgh reports
With over two decades of experience in journalism, Mr. Agyeman brings a wealth of expertise, leadership, and advocacy to the race.
Throughout his distinguished career, Mr. Agyeman has risen through the ranks to become an editor, widely recognized for his commitment to press freedom, ethical journalism, and the welfare of journalists nationwide. “I am standing for this role not just as a journalist, but as someone who understands the challenges of the profession and is ready to help reposition the GJA as a proactive, supportive, and unifying force for all media professionals,” he stated.
Mr. Agyeman’s experience extends beyond Ghana’s borders. He has represented Ghana’s media on several international platforms, serving as an election observer in Togo, Nigeria, and Liberia. His academic contributions are equally notable, as he is currently a lecturer at the University of Media, Arts and Communication – Institute of Journalism (UniMAC-IJ) and a PhD candidate at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana.
His ongoing research, titled “The Dynamics of Rejected Ballots in Africa,” offers a deep analysis of Ghana’s electoral processes from 1992 to 2020. This expertise will undoubtedly serve him well in his bid for the National Secretary position.
Mr. Agyeman faces strong competition from Dominic Hlordzi, the current Organising Secretary, in the election scheduled for June 30, 2025.
However, with his extensive experience and commitment to the GJA’s mission, Mr. Agyeman is confident in his ability to lead the association forward.
