Mr. Kurt E.S. Okraku, who is seeking to retain the foremost position of the GFA, was elected in October 2019, after the reign of the interim Normalisation Committee headed by Dr. Kofi Amoah, following FIFA’s ban of then GFA President Kwesi Nyantakyi for his involvement in an alleged corruption related activities.

So far, Mr. George Afriyie, a former vice president of the association under the erstwhile Kwesi Nyantakyi administration and Mr. Kojo Yankah, a former Western Region Football Association (RFA) chairman have declared their intentions to contest in the presidential elections.
