Moses Klu Mensah is the Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) USA Chapter

The Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) USA Chapter, Moses Klu Mensah, has commended journalists across the country for their vital role in safeguarding democracy, ahead of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) national elections scheduled for Monday, June 30, 2025.

In a Facebook post shared on June 26, 2025, Mensah lauded journalists for their courage, resilience, and dedication to truth, urging them to remain unwavering in their commitment to public accountability and national development.

“As members of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) prepare to head to the polls on Monday, I wish to take this moment to salute all dedicated journalists across Ghana,” the post read.

“I urge you to remain steadfast in your duty, standing firm by the truth, upholding the highest standards of dignity, and continuing to be the voice for the voiceless. Ghana depends on your courage and unrelenting pursuit of truth to expose corruption,” he wrote.

He added, “May the spirit of fairness and patriotism guide this election.”

The 2025 GJA elections will see twelve out of thirteen approved candidates vying for various national executive positions. These include the offices of President, Vice President, General Secretary, Organising Secretary, Treasurer, and Public Affairs Officer.

The Electoral Committee has confirmed that all candidates have completed the balloting process to determine their positions on the ballot paper.

One candidate, Mr Rufai Zambaga Saminu, who initially filed to contest for the position of Treasurer, formally withdrew his nomination before the balloting.

The presidential race is expected to be closely contested between Mr Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, the incumbent President seeking a second term, and Mr Charles Yao Mawusi, a media consultant and reform advocate. Both candidates are presenting distinct visions for the Association, with Mr Dwumfour campaigning on continuity and achievements during his tenure, while Mr Mawusi focuses on transparency, unity, and stronger institutional reforms.

Voting will take place simultaneously in designated centres across the regions, with results expected to be announced shortly after polls close.

The Ghana Journalists Association, founded in 1949, is the umbrella body for journalists in the country. It holds national elections every three years to elect executives who will lead the Association and represent the interests of its members while promoting press freedom, professionalism, and ethical journalism.
