Efua Ghartey elected as first female GBA President

Legal practitioner, Efua Ghartey has been elected as the first female President of the Ghana Bar Association.

This took place during the GBA election at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

Efua Gartey garnered 1,208 while Kwadzo Dzakpasu secured 1,060 votes.

Her two previous attempts to lead the Association ended in a narrow loss to Tony Forson, the immediate past president of the GBA, and Yaw Boafo, the current national president, by thin margins of 67 and 65 votes, respectively.

Efua is a seasoned lawyer of over 30 years standing and was running for national president for the third time.

In 1994, she co-founded Ghartey & Ghartey with Joe Ghartey.
