Senior News Editor at the Kumasi unit of The Multimedia Group, Kofi Adu Domfeh, has been elected as the new Ashanti Regional chairperson of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA).
His victory came after a keenly contested election held across the country to choose new regional and national executives for the association.
Mr Domfeh, who is known for his strong advocacy for ethical journalism and climate change, will now lead the Ashanti Regional chapter of the GJA after winning with 16 votes, while his opponent pulled 15 votes.
In his campaign, Mr Domfeh outlined a three-point vision focusing on continuous professional integrity, dignity in ethical practice, and accountability within the media fraternity in the region.
He pledged to restore the association’s credibility and build a more vibrant and inclusive media community in Ashanti.
Speaking after his election, Domfeh expressed gratitude to his colleagues for the confidence reposed in him and promised to work tirelessly to uplift the standards of journalism in the region.
“I am humbled by the support and trust. Together, we will raise the bar of professionalism, protect the integrity of our work, and ensure the welfare of every journalist is prioritized,” he said.
He will serve in the administration with GBC’s Nicholas Osei-Wusu as Regional Vice President, Media General’s Beatrice Spio Gabbrah as General Secretary and Dr. Neta Kris Abiana Pasram as Treasurer.
Adu Domfeh’s election has been widely welcomed by journalists and stakeholders within the region, with many expressing optimism about the future of the association under his leadership.
The elections were part of a nationwide exercise by the GJA to usher in a new crop of leaders at both national and regional levels to steer the affairs of the association for the next term.
