Solomon Agborem of The Dawn will serve as the first Disputes Officer. Choves Loh of The News and Abong Clextus of Eden are the auditors. Martin Nkemngu of Africa Excellence Magazine and Bouddih Adams of The Post will serve as advisers.

The elections followed a review of the CENPA constitution, which clarified many issues and introduced new positions. The new team will lead the Association for the next four years.
