John Ansah has been elected as the new Chairman of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) following a decisive victory in the elections held on Thursday at the GHALCA Secretariat located at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Ansah garnered 95 votes, significantly outpacing his opponent, Isaac Wilberforce Koomson, who received 35 votes.
Ansah succeeds Kudjoe Fianoo, who stepped down after a lengthy tenure. The newly elected leadership is expected to strengthen GHALCA’s influence and operations.
In the Vice Chairmanship contest, Phyllis Marku successfully retained her position, defeating Nana Amankwaa Kwakye.
With three terms of experience as an executive member of GHALCA, Ansah is dedicated to steering the association toward a more successful future through ethical governance and unity.
He had expressed his vision for GHALCA, stating, “My vision is to build a better future for all members by promoting responsible leadership, transparency, and integrity.” His agenda focuses on prioritizing club welfare and enhancing collaboration within the association to create an inclusive and prosperous environment.
The election saw participation from 134 members, including 36 from the Premier League, 48 from Division One, 30 from Regional Football Associations (RFAs), and 20 from the Women’s Premier League.
Koomson’s candidacy marked his third attempt at the chairmanship after previous defeats to Fianoo in 2016 and 2020.
