George Afriyie disqualified from GFA presidential election
George Afriyie is no longer eligible to run for president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) after being disqualified by the GFA Elections Committee.
After losing out four years prior, Afriyie, a former vice president of the Ghana FA, was trying to replace Kurt Okraku, the current president of the GFA.
According to a statement from the Elections Committee, the football executive did not submit the necessary number of GFA members to support his candidacy.
The Committee said that he used Jeffrey Asare, who was unqualified, to sign his nomination paperwork, and it was later discovered that Asare wasn’t a Director at Victory Club Warriors FC as he had claimed.
However, the Committee also stated that Afriyie has three working days to appeal the decision to disqualify him.
