Ghana Fa Elections Postponed After Petition By Disqualified Duo

Neil Armstrong Mortagbe is thought to be a strong contender for the post

The Ghana FA presidential election scheduled for Thursday has been called off indefinitely after a petition was sent by two disqualified candidates.

Kwesi Nyantakyi was expected to be elected unopposed but the federation’s highest ruling body Executive Committee has postponed pending the outcome of the petition.

Vincent Sowah Odotei and Neil Armstrong-Mortagbe petitioned the federation after they were declared ineligible to contest.

But after an arbitration committee was set to hear their case the Executive Committee decided to postpone the election until a case of the two disqualified candidates are heard.

“The date for the Ghana Football Association’s Extra-Ordinary Session of Congress to elect its President has postponed indefinitely,” the Ghana FA said in a statement.

“The indefinite postponement of the scheduled progarmme is to allow for the completion of the arbitration process before the Dispute Resolution Committee over the candidatures of Vincent Sowah Odotei and Neil Armstrong-Mortagbe for election for the Presidency.

Nyantakyi was set for his second term in office before the latest development.

A new date for the election will be set after the case of the duo has been heard.
