The Normalization Committee is holding a 3rd round of elections to approve Kurt Okraku as the elected President of the Ghana Football Association.

George Afriyie and Nana Yaw Amponsah conceded defeat ahead of the 3rd round.

The Dreams CEO got 59 votes whiles George Afriyie earned 43 votes in the runoff elections. Nana Yaw Amponsah bagged the rest of the 16 votes.

Kurt, unopposed, will need the approval of over 50% of the delegates to become president

In round one of the GFA elections held at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Kurt Okraku lead the first round as he polled 44 votes with former Vice President George Afriyie earning 40 votes.

Nana Yaw Amponsah who won many hearts following his brilliant performance at the debate had 27 votes, while Fred Pappoe managed 6 votes. Like Amanda Clinton, George Ankomah bagged no vote.

Prior to the elections, there were the Regional Football Associations and Executive Council elections with some shocking results giving credence to the famous ‘fear delegates’ quote.

A potential injunction was hanging around the elections but just this morning the Court of Arbitration for Sports released a statement rejecting an appeal of injunction by disqualified candidate Wilfred Osei Kwaku Palmer.

The position of GFA President has been vacant since 2018 when Kwesi Nyantakyi resigned following damning revelations in an exposé by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
