Mrs. Ghartey made the announcement during the opening ceremony of the ongoing Bar Conference in Wa, expressing pride and responsibility on behalf of the Association.
She stated, “No sooner had we started finding our feet, were we approached by the leadership of the African Bar Association… The Ghana Bar Association had been highly considered to play host to the rest of Africa in October 2025.”
The GBA President emphasized that the selection is not only an honour but also a recognition of Ghana’s standing within the continent.

With preparations underway, the GBA said it is ready to host the prestigious event, which promises to bring together legal minds from across Africa to discuss pressing issues and share knowledge.
