The Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) has congratulated Mr. Samson Deen on his emphatic re-election as President of the African Paralympic Committee (APC).
Deen secured an overwhelming 95% of the votes, extending his tenure as head of the continental body until 2029.
He first took office in 2021 and has since led several key initiatives aimed at boosting inclusivity, athlete participation, and the visibility of Paralympic sports across Africa.
SWAG described his re-election as a testament to the trust and confidence the African sporting community continues to have in his leadership and vision.
“His continued mandate underscores the success and positive trajectory initiated during his first tenure, which has brought increased visibility, professionalization, and support to para-athletes.”
The Association further commended Mr. Deen for his efforts in promoting equality and development in para-sports.
It said his leadership has played a vital role in ensuring that African para-athletes gain more recognition and access to international opportunities.
“SWAG recognizes Mr. Deen not only as a distinguished Ghanaian sports administrator but also as a tireless champion for inclusion and equal opportunity in sports.
“His dedication ensures that African para-athletes are given the world-class platforms they deserve to achieve their maximum potential on the international stage.”
