Nyantakyi wins GFA election

Kwesi Nyantakyi has been voted in as the new chairman of the Ghana Football Association with a landslide victory in Accra on Friday.

Nyantakyi, who has been the acting chairman since April, won 91 votes out of a possible 122 to claim a four-year term in office.

However, the elections were not without controversy as a high court injunction was served on Friday morning in an attempt to have the polls halted.

The injunction was brought by three of the five candidates contesting the post of chairman - Kojo Bonsu, Ade Coker and Vincent Odotei Sowah - they claimed there was a lack of transparency in the electoral process.

But the chairman of the GFA congress Justice J.K. Ampiah, who is also supreme court judge, rejected the injunction on the grounds it should have been served to him at his office and not at the congress venue.
