MTN Ghana explained why digital advocate Kobby Kyei left the Heroes of Change contest. The company sent out information about his exit from the Digital Heroes category on April 20. They said Kyei disagreed with how the awards worked, but MTN kept the same rules for everyone. All contestants learned these rules when they started the competition.
The awards pick winners through public votes on Facebook, combined with decisions from independent judges. Each part counts for half the final score. Kyei asked MTN to change the voting methods partway through the contest. MTN refused these changes because it might give him an unfair advantage over other contestants. They wanted to keep everything fair for all participants.
MTN was sad about Kyei's departure but praised his work helping young people with digital skills. The company remains focused on running a fair contest that celebrates people who help their communities. The Heroes of Change program continues with its seventh season across Ghana. MTN stands behind its process for choosing winners through both public support and expert evaluation.
