Health Students: Various associations under the National Health Students Association of Ghana have expressed profound disappointment and disillusionment with the 2022 administration’s blatant attempts to manipulate the association’s leadership. The administration’s actions, deemed utterly unacceptable, involved exploiting their positions to install their preferred candidates, thereby undermining the democratic process.

In a statement released by the presidents of the various associations under NAHSAG, they unequivocally dissociated themselves from the purportedly illegal election, affirming Ernest Agyare as the legitimate and rightful president of the association. They urged their members to rally behind him, citing their satisfaction with his exemplary leadership and commendable achievements.

The associations also drew attention to a court ruling that explicitly restrained the 2022 executives from conducting any elections, rendering their actions null and void. Despite the overwhelming support of health students for the current administration, the 2022 executives orchestrated an election with a paltry 20 students, brazenly attempting to impose their preferred candidates on the student body. Notably, all the candidates ran unopposed.

The National Associations, including the Federation of Ghana Medical Laboratory Students Association, Physician Assistants Students Association,University Nursing Students Association of Ghana,Federation of Ghana Medical Imaging Students Association,Ghana Association of Health Training Institutions, Federation of Ghana Medical Students Association Pharmaceutical Sciences Federation Ghana, among others, have unequivocally condemned the election, labeling it a flagrant disregard for democratic principles. They have called upon all members to rally behind the 2024/25 administration, led by Ernest Agyare, in a show of solidarity and support for legitimate leadership.
