The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Elections Committee wishes to inform all stakeholders and members of the Association that the current Elections Calendar for the upcoming national and regional elections, initially scheduled for Monday, June 30, 2025, is under review.
According to the original calendar, the outcome of the vetting process was expected to be published on Friday, June 6.
However, the Committee has received a number of petitions challenging the eligibility of certain candidates, which it is carefully reviewing and investigating.
The statement assured that critical electoral activities, such as balloting for positions and other scheduled steps in the election process, must be revised to ensure fairness, transparency, and compliance with the Association’s electoral guidelines.
“In light of these developments, critical electoral activities such as balloting for positions and other scheduled steps in the election process must be revised to ensure fairness, transparency, and compliance with the association’s electoral guidelines,” it affirmed.

The statement explained that a revised Elections Calendar will be published shortly; however, it assured all members that the Committee is working diligently to address all issues in a fair and timely manner.
The statement, issued on Monday, June 9, 2025, dated on June 7, was signed by the GJA Elections Committee Chairman, Peter Martey Agbeko.
