Presidential aspirant Kojo Yankah wants 2023 GFA Elections suspended

Former Western Regional Football Association chairman, Kojo Yankah has called for the suspension of the upcoming elections scheduled for October.

The Ghana Football Association on Thursday, July 3 announced the roadmap and guidelines for the 2023 Elections.

However, according to the vociferous football administrator, the roadmap announced by the Elections Committee of the GFA is incorrect hence the reason why the elections must be called off.

He added that something terrible will happen should the GFA go ahead with plans to hold the elections.

“I’m not okay with the roadmap, Kurt is afraid of me and wants to do everything possible to go unopposed,” he told Accra-based Onua FM.

“Everything about the elections is wrong because this is an association and not a Ghanaian presidential election. Why do we have to conduct the GFA Presidential elections before that of the RFAs?

“The elections won’t be held as planned, I can assure you that and if they are to go ahead with their plans, something terrible will happen, I’m not just talking and it’s not about seeking a court injunction, I know what I am saying. The elections must be suspended,” he added.

He also vowed that the incumbent GFA President, Kurt Okraku will never win the elections because he has underperformed since assuming office in October 2019.

“Kurt [Okraku] has failed, he won’t win the election, he’s very laughable and I pity him. He wants to go unopposed because he knows he will lose the seat”, he added.

On whether he still holds on to his decision to contest for the GFA seat, Kojo Yankah who is currently in the United States said, “I will definitely come for the nomination forms, I will come for it at a time nobody expected.”

Kojo Yankah joins the likes of George Afriyie who have been announced their intention to contest Kurt Okraku for the GFA presidential seat.
