President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku has vowed to resolve any impasse between him and former GFA Vice President, George Afriyie.<\/p>\n

He made this statement following his re-election on Thursday during the 2023 Elective Congress in Tamale.<\/p>\n

Mr Afriyie was hoping to challenge Mr. Okraku for the position but his hope was dashed after he was disqualified by the Elections Committee.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the Committee, he failed to provide the required number of signatures to support his candidacy.<\/p>\n

Mr. Afriyie attempted to stop the election with a court injunction until his concerns are address but failed.<\/p>\n

After his landslide victory, Kurt Okraku extended an olive branch to George Afriyie in the interest of Ghana football.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can only build the Ghanaian game when we stay together,\u201d he said after he was re-elected. Everyone has a role to play in the game including my brother, George Afriyie. I will reach out to George and bring him back home. So George, wherever you are, we are one,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
