The sitting president of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC), Benjamin Nunoo Mensah, has announced he has no intention of seeking re-election.
Mr Nunoo Mensah has served two terms as GOC president and is ready to hand over to his replacement at the committee’s elections in April 2025.
“I wish to confirm that while it would have been an honour to continue serving my nation and sports community in this capacity, there is a greater call to serve humanity in a different and equally fulfilling way.
I accordingly want to move on and will not contest in the upcoming GOC elections,” he stated in a press release.
Ghana won a medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics for the first time in 30 years during Mr Nunoo Mensah’s two terms.
Richard Afokavie is considered as favourite to replace him at the end of the elections.
