Agbezi Kwadzo Dzakpasu picks form to contest National Bar Presidency

The President of the Greater Accra Regional Bar, Agbezi Kwadzo Dzakpasu, has picked forms to contest the higher office of President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA).

He garnered a massive 84.79% of the total valid votes at the 2022 regional congress.

Prior to being elected as the Regional Bar President, Mr. Agbezi served as Appeals Committee Chairman of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

As the current Bar President, Yaw Boafo, bows out in September this year, many are expected to put themselves up for the ultimate position.

Members of the Bar will thus be electing new national officers at this year's conference scheduled for September.
