Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, stands on the cusp of history as she vies for the position of Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.
The election will climax the 27th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Apia, the capital of the Pacific Island nation of Samoa, which ends tomorrow.
If successful, Ms Botchwey will become the second African to hold the position after Chief Emeka Anyaoku of Nigeria.
