GCN says it is working to review nominations and processes going forward
The Ghana Comedy Network (GCN), led by President Percy “Obrempong” Agyapong, has issued a formal statement addressing concerns over the recently announced nominations for the 2025 Ghana Comedy Awards (GCA).
The announcement follows widespread discussions among comedians and fans about transparency and fairness in the awards’ nomination process.
In a letter addressed to the comedy community and media on April 12, 2025, GCN acknowledged the grievances and emphasized its commitment to fairness and transparency.
“We recognize that errors or oversights in the nomination process can cause disappointment and frustration among those who deserve acknowledgment for their work,” the statement read.
GCN confirmed it is working closely with the Awards Scheme and its advisory panels to review nominations and processes.
Any discrepancies found are expected to be addressed before Monday, April 14, when a 10-day window opens for public corrections, omissions, or updates.
GCN reassured comedians that these steps aim not only to resolve current concerns but also to enhance the integrity of the awards in the long term.
Meanwhile, Creative Republic, the organizers of the Ghana Comedy Awards, unveiled the official list of nominees for the 2025 edition earlier today at Metro TV.
