Former African Footballer of the Year Abedi Pele Ayew is seeking election to Caf's executive committee at tomorrow’s congress in Tunis.

Pele, who is the vice-chairman of the West Africa Football Union (WAFU), will be vying for one of the spots reserved for the West African region with Nigeria's Amos Adamu.

Adamu, who is the executive director of the organizing committee for the All Africa Games that recently took place in the Nigerian capital Abuja, has been on Caf's executive committee since 2002.

Adamu won the position in 2002 after Ben Koufie was compelled to step-down for him at the executive committee elections in Mali.
