Veteran Ghanaian actor Rev Eddie Coffie has been elected new president of Ghana Actors Guild, (GAG), the umbrella body for Ghanaian actors.
He takes over from Nii Odoi Mensah who had been the guild’s president for several years.Rev Coffie used to be the vice president of the Guild during the tenure of Odoi Mensah.
The Actor who won by 93 votes out of 166 votes cast revealed to Razz Newspaper reporter (Mustapha Inusah) that, though he has lot of plans for the Guild , one of the main things he's going to focus on now, is to make sure he brings unity among the members of the Guild.
Veteran actress Vivian Achor, a popular face in the movie industry, was also elected the vice president of the Guild.
During Nii Odoi’s tenure of office, one of his major problems was getting current hot face actors to be involved in the activities of the Guild. He has complained several times that majority of such actors are not members in good standing. Not every one of them is a member. The few who are members too don’t pay their dues.
