The Ghana Olympics Committee’s Elective Congress on Monday saw incumbent Ben Nunoo Mensah retain his Presidency with a hard-fought victory over Richard Akpokavi.
Mr Nunoo Mensah’s 35 points were only seven more than Mr. Akpokavi’s total tally. The result means he now has a new four-year mandate in charge of the Committee.
Also elected on Monday were Paul Atchoe, Frederick Otu Lartey and Mohammed Mahadi were Vice Presidents, Mohammed Sahnoon as Secretary-General and Frederick Acheampong, who is an Executive Committee member of the Ghana Football Association, as Treasurer.
