Kurt Okraku has been elected the new President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
The Dreams FC Executive Chairman beat off competition from five other candidates following a run-off at Friday’s Extraordinary Congress held at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Accra.
The GFA Presidential election failed to produce a winner in the first round, after no candidate managed the required 50% plus one votes.
This forced the voting exercise into a run-off, which was contested by Kurt Okraku, George Afriyie and Nana Yaw Amponsah after Fred Pappoe pulled out.
Mr. Okraku polled 44 votes in the first round and went on to emerge winner after polling 59 votes from the total votes cast in the second round, forcing George Afriyie to concede defeat.
In all, six candidates contested the GFA Presidential elections.
They are George Afriyie, Kurt Okraku, Amanda Clinton, Frederick Pappoe, George Ankoma Mensah and Nana Yaw Amponsah.
Kurt replaces Kwesi Nyantakyi as the new GFA President.
