Hon. Samuel Nartey George, Ghana’s Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, took part in the voting for the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) Secretary‑General and Deputy Secretary‑General positions during the ongoing PP‑26 Plenipotentiary Conference in Doha, Qatar.
The election, a core governance exercise of the conference, saw representatives from all 194 ITU member states exercise their voting rights to decide the leadership of the global telecommunications and digital technology body.
The ITU’s leadership roles are pivotal as the world confronts rapid technological change, expanding artificial intelligence, rising cybersecurity threats and the imperative to close the global digital divide.
Ghana’s participation underscores its continued engagement in international digital policy discussions and its commitment to shaping the future of telecommunications and digital development.
Further details on the election outcomes and the conference’s strategic agenda will be released as the Plenipotentiary Conference concludes.
