The Guyana Badminton Association (GBA) on Friday last elected a new Management Committee to spearhead all things badminton in Guyana; the first such exercise since the untimely passing of former President Gokarn Ramdhani.
The Biennial General Meeting was hosted at the Guyana Olympic House, Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown, on February 24, 2023.

While other association business was on the cards, the election of the new Management Committee saw Emelia Ramdhani being elected as President of the GBA. It was especially fitting since Ramdhani had taken over the reins of the association in the past year.
Meanwhile, Ayanna Walcott was elected Vice President, while Darrell Carpenay will serve as Treasurer and National Badminton Champion Priyanna Ramdhani will serve as Secretary.
According to the GBA, the new Management Committee will serve for 2023-2024.

Vice President – Ayanna Watson
Treasurer – Darrell Carpenay
