Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) member and Convenor for the Ghana Coalition against Galamsey, Ing. Kenneth Ashigbey, has thrown his weight behind incumbent GJA President, Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, ahead of the association’s 2025 elections.
In a strong endorsement, Ing. Ashigbey lauded Mr. Dwumfour’s leadership, describing his first term as a “transformative era of press freedom.”
He acknowledged having initial doubts during Mr. Dwumfour’s first presidential campaign but noted that his consistent defence of journalists’ rights had earned his “profound admiration.”
“I wholeheartedly endorse Albert, whose tireless advocacy for journalists’ rights has ushered in a transformative era of press freedom,” Ing. Ashigbey said in a social media post.
“As a journalist, I urge you to cast your vote for Albert, a beacon of hope and a champion of our fundamental rights.”
Mr. Dwumfour, who is seeking re-election, is among 42 qualified candidates cleared by the GJA Elections Committee to contest various national and regional positions on June 28.
His tenure has been marked by advocacy for improved working conditions for journalists and engagement with key stakeholders in the media industry.
