Ghana Olympic Committee President Ben Nunoo Mensah says he will not seek re-election in next Month’s GOC Elections.
The 61-year-old businessman, first elected in 2017, has served two terms and oversaw Ghana’s participation in the Tokyo and Paris Olympic Games.
In a released statement, Nunoo Mensah stated that he has decided to pursue other endeavors.
“I wish to confirm that while it would have been an honour to continue serving my nation and the sports community in this capacity, there is a greater call to serve humanity in a different and equally fulfilling way. I accordingly want to move on and will not contest in the upcoming GOC elections.
“I understand this decision may disappoint the many individuals and federations who have encouraged me to continue for another and final four-year term.
“I sincerely appreciate their support and confidence in my leadership. However, I trust they will also understand that, there comes a time when one must move on, and for me, that time is now.”
The GOC elections are set for April 26, with former General Secretary Richard Akpokavi already announcing his bid for the presidency.
