Popularly called ‘Lord Zico’ the astute football administrator pulled 9 votes with Amande also amassing the same, in the first and second round of votes which sent the voting to a third round.

Kingsley Osei Bonsu finally garnered 12 votes as Elloeny Amande had 9 votes, meaning Osei Bonsu picked the fifth slot on the Premier League club representation of the Executive Council.

However, Dr. Randy Abbey who represented Heart of Lions pulled 12 votes out of 18, while James Kwasi Appiah of Asante Kotoko gathered 10 and Frederick Acheampong of Dreams FC and Oduro Sarfo grabbed 11 and 10 votes respectively.
