Ghana Participates in ITU Leadership Elections at Plenipotentiary Conference in Doha
Ghana has joined other member states of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to participate in the election of the organisation’s Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General at the ongoing ITU Plenipotentiary Conference 2026 (PP-26) in Doha, Qatar.
The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Hon. Samuel Nartey George (MP), participated in the voting alongside heads of delegations and representatives of ITU member states, as countries exercised their voting rights to determine the leadership of the global telecommunications and digital technology body.
The election forms part of the key governance processes of the Plenipotentiary Conference, which brings together representatives of ITU's 194 member states to deliberate on the organisation’s strategic direction, policies and priorities for the coming years.
The positions of Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General are central to the leadership and administration of the ITU, particularly as the world navigates rapid technological advancements, the expansion of artificial intelligence, growing cybersecurity concerns and the need to bridge the global digital divide.
Ghana’s participation in the election reflects its continued engagement in global digital policy discussions and its commitment to contributing to decisions that will shape the future of telecommunications and digital development.
