A former Western Regional Football Association chairman, Kojo Yankah, has declared his intention to contest in the upcoming Ghana Football Association (GFA) presidential election.<\/p>\n

The former FA Executive Committee member\u00a0is set to come up against incumbent Kurt Okraku who will be seeking re-election when his mandate expires in October 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m officially declaring my intention to contest the GFA presidential election. It\u2019s true, I, Kojo Yankah will contest for the GFA job in October,\u201d the former journalist told Onua TV.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kojo Yankah served as president of the Western Region FA for eight years.<\/p>\n

Explaining his decision to contest the elections, Mr Yankah said there is no unity within the football ecosystem and he is the person to unite the football circles.<\/p>\n

\u201dThere is a lack of unity and togetherness within football under this Kurt Okraku\u2019s administration. There are other factors I will speak about in the coming days but for now, I have declared my intention to contest for the seat,\u201d he told Asempa FM on the Sports Nite Program.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no official roadmap yet for this year\u2019s election expected to be held in October.<\/p>\n
