John Ansah has been elected as the new Chairman of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) following a commanding victory in the elections held on Thursday at the GHALCA Secretariat at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Ansah secured 95 votes, comfortably defeating his opponent, Isaac Wilberforce Koomson, who garnered 35 votes. He takes over from Kudjoe Fianoo, who stepped down after serving in the role for several years. The newly elected leadership aims to strengthen GHALCA’s operations and influence in Ghana football.
In the Vice Chairmanship race, Phyllis Marku retained her position after defeating Nana Amankwaa Kwakye.
Ansah, who has served three terms as an executive member of GHALCA, is committed to leading the association toward a brighter future through ethical leadership and unity. Outlining his vision, he stated, “My vision is to build a better future for all members by promoting responsible leadership, transparency, and integrity.” His plans focus on prioritizing the welfare of clubs and fostering collaboration to create an inclusive and prosperous environment.
The election was attended by 134 eligible 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 bid marked his third attempt at the chairmanship, following defeats to Fianoo in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
