CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Kurt Okraku for his re-election as President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
Okraku secured a second term after receiving overwhelming support from delegates at the GFA Elective Congress, held at the Golden Dream Hotel in Tamale on Thursday, October 5, 2023.
Out of the 120 votes cast, Okraku received an impressive 117 votes, solidifying his position as President of the Ghana Football Association for the next four years. Dr Patrice Motsepe’s statement praised Simeon-Okraku’s leadership and the trust and confidence placed in him by GFA members.
The statement read, “My dear Brother Kurt, It is my pleasure to express my most sincere congratulations to you on your re-election for four more years as President of the Ghana Football Association (“GFA”) which took place on Thursday 5 October 2023 in Tamale, Ghana. Your re-election is an indication of your membership’s trust and confidence in your leadership. You have done excellent work to promote and develop football in Ghana and on the African Continent. I wish you everything of the best during the new period of your leadership and look forward to seeing you again.”
Okraku stood unopposed following the disqualification of the only candidate who sought to contest the GFA boss, George Afriyie.
