Benard Quartey beats Lamptey to be Ghana Boxing Federation’s President

Mr. Benard Quartey beat incumbent Mr. George Lamptey to steer affairs of the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF) President for a four-year period.

At an Election held on Saturday in Accra, Mr. Quartey polled 59 votes, 14 more than Lamptey’s 45 to head the Federation.

Mr. Dauda Fuseini was also elected as the First Vice President with 63 votes, beating Mohammed Abdul Samadu and Abdul Rasheed Williams.

Mr. Solomon Otoo Lartey and Mr. Mustapha Nettey were given the nod as the Second Vice President and Treasurer respectively.

Two Executive Members to join are Messrs. Dagadu Enam Forster and Abdul Isaaka Pangasur.
