The 2023 Ghana Football Association (GFA) election in Tamale not only reaffirmed Kurt Edwin Okraku as the GFA President but also unveiled a new roster of winners who will serve on the GFA Executive Council for the next four years. This election was marked by resounding support for Okraku's continued leadership, as he stood unopposed following the disqualification of his rival, George Afriyie.
Out of the 124 eligible delegates, an impressive 120 participated in the election. A staggering 117 delegates voted "YES" to endorse Kurt Okraku's presidency, while only three voted "NO."
Here is the list of the winners who will form the GFA Executive Council:
1. Kurt E.S Okraku - GFA President (Unopposed)
2. James Kwesi Appiah - Ghana Premier League Representative
3. Frederick Acheampong- Ghana Premier League Representative
4. Dr. Randy Abbey- Ghana Premier League Representative
5. Nana Oduro Sarfo - Ghana Premier League Representative
6. Kingsley Osei Bonsu- Ghana Premier League Representative
7. Gifty Oware-Mensah- Women’s Premier League clubs Representative
These individuals will play pivotal roles in shaping the future of Ghanaian football during their tenure on the GFA Executive Council.
The overwhelming support for Kurt Okraku's leadership reflects a unified vision within the Ghanaian football community. During his post-election speech, President Okraku emphasized the importance of unity in advancing Ghanaian football, extending an olive branch to George Afriyie, saying, "We can only build the Ghanaian game when we stay together. 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."
As the newly elected council members assume their roles, Ghanaian football enthusiasts look forward to a period of continued growth and development in the sport under their guidance, led by the re-elected President, Kurt Okraku.
Despite a court injunction suspending proceedings until October 12, the elections committee proceeded to conduct the elections, further adding to the confusion surrounding the electoral process.
