Ghana FA Elections injunction case adjourned to September 19

The hearing for the injunction application against the 2023 Ghana Football Association (GFA) Elections has been adjourned to Tuesday, September 19th.

The injunction was initiated by King Faisal Football Club.

This decision was reached during a virtual court session on Wednesday, September 6th, where both sides’ lawyers agreed to reconvene in approximately two weeks to address their concerns.

As a result, the election process remains in a state of suspension following the completion of candidate vetting.

King Faisal, the plaintiff in this case, took legal action to prevent the GFA from proceeding with its originally scheduled presidential election, slated for September 27th in Tamale.

Kurt Okraku, who is the President of the Football Association is facing a challenge from George Afriyie, the former Vice President of the association, for the top position.

King Faisal Football Club is advocating for the continuation of the pause on the Presidential elections until the elections for representatives of the National League clubs, Regional Football Associations, and other associated groups are concluded.

Furthermore, King Faisal seeks a declaration that a proper Congress cannot take place to elect the President until new representatives for the Executive Council (Exco) have been duly elected.

They also contend that electing a new GFA President before Exco representatives is not in accordance with the law.

In addition, the clubs seek that any decision made by the current Exco members regarding the GFA President’s election before the selection of Exco representatives is viewed as a breach of trust, confidence, and loyalty.
