As it stands, he is the only aspirant to have served the commission from his level 100 days till now in his zeal to contest for that position.

Mr. Osman holds certificates in Understanding Elections and Civic Responsibility, Responsible Leadership on Transparency and Good Governance, and Community Journalism: Basic Principles of Effective storytelling, all from The Network of Young African Leaders Initiative.

He’s currently pursuing a degree in communication at GIJ and a certificate in strategic digital marketing at Great Lakes Executive Learning.

He is the aide to the PRO of the Savannah Regional Coordinating Council and has worked with a number of organizations, including Wipe-Away Foundation, Youth Arise Ghana, Shea Wrestling GH and Events, RAD Communications, Tourism Aid Ghana, and as a volunteer reporter at Nkilgi FM. He’s the owner of Osman TV, an online channel dedicated to broadcasting audio-visual content.
