Kurt Okraku has been re-elected as the President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for a second term.<\/p>\n

Mr Okraku went unopposed at the 2023 Elective Congress which is underway at the Global Dream Hotel in the Northern Regional capital, Tamale.<\/p>\n

George Afriyie, who was the sole contender of Mr Okraku was disqualified by the Elections Committee of the country\u2019s football governing body.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Out of 119 delegates who were present at the Congress, 117 of them voted in favour of the Dreams FC owner.<\/p>\n

However, two delegates voted against his retention and one other delegate abstained.<\/p>\n

Kurt Okraku re-elected for a second term as GFA President. <\/p>\n

Standing unopposed, the GFA Congress members voted: <\/p>\n

YES \u2013 117
NO- 2
Abstaining \u2013 1<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a secret ballot, so how come the so-called delegates who would have voted for George didn\u2019t simply vote no? I\u2019m confused. pic.twitter.com\/az02b64wvG<\/a><\/p>\n
