Speaking to the media after emerging victorious, Mr Nii Lante Bannerman in the elections called on aspirants who lost the elections to come on board and take Ghana Handball Association to the next level.

"At long last, it is Handball that has won and we will need everyone on board to take Ghana Handball Association back to its glory. We are going to implement a lot of measures in place to ensure we develop handball in the country and make sure it gains much attention in the media," he stated.
