Mr Effah,Board Chairman,announced earlier before the election that a Board member, Mr Albert Inkoom, resigned in April this year, thus creating a vacancy to be filled at the AGM.

He said two other directors, Mr Anthony Effah, chairman, and his vice, Mr Paa Kwesi Sampson Ennim, have served their first term on the Board, but were still eligible to stand.

Mr Effah disclosed that they have, therefore, expressed their willingness to continue in office and would present themselves to the shareholders to give them the mandate to continue or step down.

The five members therefore contested in the Breman Asikuma and Brakwa Zones.
