The Ghana Football Association held it Presidential election today in Accra to select a candidate to lead the Association in it activities and Kurt E.S Okraku has won the election with 59 votes which culminates into 49.6% and not the standard 50+ 1% votes but his close contender George Afriyie who had 43 votes conceded to allow Kurt become the GFA President.
However, the tradition of the Electoral Commission is to vote for a candidate even if all contenders concedes to get the standard 50+1 % votes so the commission will not be labeled as biased towards one candidate.
Kurt Okraku will head the Ghana Football Association for four years after which another election will be held to elect a new candidate for four years.
