The Ghana Football Association Congress is set to start this morning at the GetFund Hotel in Tamale.

One hundred and twenty-three (123) delegates representing clubs in all divisions of Ghana Football and its constituent bodies (Security services, Tertiary and Second Cycle Schools, Referees, Women and Juvenile football) are present.

Congress, which is the highest decision making body of the Ghana Football Association, will seek to re-elect Kwesi Nyantakyi as president

Nyantakyi will be standing unopposed after nobody picked up nomination forms to contest.

This is the second time in a row that the lawyer will have no challenger at the polls after three candidates were disqualified from the race in 2011 for failing to meet election requirements.

So According to the Article 28.7 of the Ghana FA Statutes, Congress will duly return the 47-year-old as president.

Thus, Nyantakyi becomes the first President of the GFA to be democratically re-elected twice.

He is also a CAF Executive Committee Member.
