Duada Mahama will face it off with Godwin Sai all from the Achimota Golf Club for the Treasurer position.
Speaking to the Power Sports Editor, PGA Vice Captain, Eric Henaku highlighted why he is not contesting for any position this time around.
“I came to serve and I have served PGA for the past thirteen years, so I have to rest for some time,” he noted.
He added, “I came as the Secretary of the Association and we put the right measures in place by fixing the constitution that helped us appoint a substantive Secretary who is a non-playing member. We have organized a lot of tournaments, so we are hoping for the best in future.”
An existing official whose name is missing from the contest is the incumbent Treasurer, Mr Ernest Opoku.
Each winner of the contest is required to man his respective position for the next four years.
