A popular politician and businessman, Mr Edward Nii Lante Bannerman, has been elected as the new president of the Ghana Handball Association (GHA).

Mr Bannerman polled 26 votes out of the total 37 votes cast to brush aside stiff competition from his opponent, Paul Kofi Yesu, who had 10 votes, with one rejected vote.

Speaking to the media after his victory, Mr Bannerman called on the aspirants who lost the elections to come on board to help develop Ghana handball to higher heights.

“Handball is a team sport and with all coming on board, I believe it would take a different shape in Ghana,” he added.

There will be another election for the position of the first vice president and treasurer as both unopposed candidates could not secure the majority threshold of 50 plus one votes.
