Accra, Aug. 27, GNA – Mr Yaw Owusu-Addo, Director of Radio of Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) was on Wednesday declared President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA).
The declaration was made by a three-member ad-hoc committee, which upheld a petition filed by Mr Owusu-Addo asking for the declaration of the election as null and void.
The Committee was appointed by the GJA to determine the eligibility or otherwise of the candidacy of Mr Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh, Editor of Graphic, who won the election, held on August 21.
Mr Owusu-Addo in his petition held that at the time Mr Boadu-Ayeboafoh filed his nomination papers on July 31, he was not a fully paid up member as the rules demanded.
