It was an intense atmosphere on Sunday 4th August ,2019 as Imo State Union Ghana elected new Executives that would handle the affairs of the Union for the next three years.

Tempers went high during the accreditation of eligible voters but for the intervention of HRM Eze Chukwudi Ihenetu, Eze Igbo Ghana , Chief Calistus Elozieuwa and other well meaning indigenes who pleaded with frayed nerves to calm down and allow the election to hold successfully.

This great Association boast of hundreds of committed members who are doing well in various Businesses across the regions of Ghana and beyond. Many of them came out on the day to excerise their constitutional right of electing their leaders. As is the custom in the Association when a new election is to hold , the former Executives led by Elder Shedrach Okoro was dissolved and the Electoral Commission quickly took over the transition process.

The most keenly contested position was for the position of Chairman which had Chief Leo Ogburie and Prince Wisdom Opurum seeking to win. Other positions were contested for while some others were returned unopposed .

At the end of this rigorous but exciting process, the Electoral Committee as led by Mr Ben who did a very good job as the Electoral Committee Chairman announced Chief Leo popularly called Lion (Agu na eche Igbo Na Ghana) as the winner of the Chairmanship position.

Results of other positions were announced and hands of fellowship were extended to those who lost knowing that this is a brotherly activity and everyone is a winner.

Chief Leo, the newly elected Chairman in his appreciation message to the people thanked every Imo indigene who came out to vote. He promised that in total collaboration with the newly elected Executives,they would work hard to make the Association the pride of all in Ghana and beyond.He promised to unite and carry everyone along as 'we are all brothers and sisters bearing in mind that everyone has something to contribute to make Imo State Union Ghana better' he said. He promised Restoration and Transformation of this noble Association.

The Election process ended around 9;30 pm and everyone went home joyfully looking forward to the official handover during the next month meeting on Sunday 1st September,2019.
