TGMAs 2025: Red carpet delay used to buy time to begin main event – Robert Klah

Robert Klah, Head of Communications and Public Events at Charterhouse, has explained the big delay of the red carpet event at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) was to manage the start of the main event.
“Initially, we wanted to start, let’s say, between 9:15 and 9:30, but we ended up starting at 10. We had to prolong the red carpet to accommodate a number of people,” he said.
“Technically, we were all ready, everything. We were waiting to begin. At the time when we wanted to start the main show, we were still waiting. Because at the end of the day, you don’t want to announce the winner of an award and the presenter is not there, or even worse, the winner is not there. Or you’re ready to begin and your opening act is not there,” he expatiated, speaking on Hitz FM.
“You want to make sure they are all there. You want to have like two or three acts ready, so when you finish with one, the next is ready to go. All the necessary preparations must be in place. So, if these people are not there, it becomes difficult to begin.”
“At the end of the day, it drags.”
The 2025 TGMAs took place at the Grand Arena, Accra International Conference Centre (AICC), starting Saturday evening, May 10, and ending on Sunday morning, May 11.
Highlife/Hiplife star King Paluta bagged the Most Popular Song of the Year award with his Highlife megahit Aseda, while Afrobeats/Highlife star King Promise lifted the ultimate trophy as the Artiste of the Year.
