Executive Members

Executive Board members:

Sarah Lotus Asare made history by becoming the first female Executive Board member of the Ghana Boxing Federation, marking a significant milestone in the Federation’s governance.

Immediate Swearing-In and GOC Charge

The newly elected executives were immediately sworn into office by President of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC), Lawyer Richard Akpokavie, Esq. He charged the leadership to unite the amateur boxing fraternity and prioritize rebuilding a formidable Black Bombers national team capable of sustaining Ghana’s rich boxing legacy as a major medal contender at international competitions.

He was accompanied by GOC General Secretary Mohammed Sulley Muniru, Deputy General Secretary Bawa Fuseini, and Board Members Nana Adu Mankattah and Kamal Sulley, who congratulated the executives and formally welcomed them into office.

A President’s Pledge

In his acceptance remarks, President Alhaji Dauda Fuseini pledged transparent, accountable, and inclusive leadership.

“As a former First Vice President, I have learned valuable lessons. I intend not to repeat the mistakes of past administrations and will work fairly with all stakeholders to advance Ghana boxing,” he stated.

Credible Electoral Process

The elections were conducted under the supervision of officials from the Electoral Commission of Ghana, with organization and coordination handled by an Election Committee chaired by veteran sports administrator Mr. Ernest Danso (representing the GOC) and Madam Emelia Ansah, Assistant Secretary-General of the GBF from the National Sports Authority (NSA).

Historical Context

Since its establishment in the late 1950s—formerly known as the Ghana Amateur Boxing Federation (GABA)—the Federation has yet to experience a presidential administration extending beyond a single tenure.

Past leaders include G.A. Amartefio, Eddie Blay (Olympic and Commonwealth medalist), Colonel George Sharpe, and Emmanuel Offei Darko (former Accra Mayor), all of blessed memory. Others include Eddy Duplan, Ray Quarcoo, and the late Gideon Quartey, who was succeeded by his Vice President George Lamptey, before the immediate past President DSI Bernard Quartey handed over to his Vice President—now President—Alhaji Dauda Fuseini, following what many have described as an “electoral knockout.”
