President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, will begin his second tenure as head of the football governing body on October 5, 2023, following the decision of the Elections Committee to reschedule the date for Elective Congress.
Mr Okraku is the only candidate qualified to contest the elections after George Afriyie was disqualified by the Elections Committee and his appeal dismissed by the Appeals Committee.
Following the verdict of the Appeals Committee on September 15, 2023, the Elections Committee announced the new date on Tuesday, for the Elective Assembly.
The GFA had scheduled September 27, 2023, for the Congress in Tamale, but due to an application for injunction on the process by King Faisal, which is yet to be heard, the committee has moved the assembly to early next month.
Top on the agenda is the election of the president which will be vied for unopposed by incumbent, Okraku, followed by that of the Executive Council for Women's football, Division One League representatives, and Premier League.
The new president and his council will be sworn into office after the elections.
With George Afriyie disqualified, Mr Okraku will continue his tenure as president the FA immediately after Congress.
The success of the elections, however, is dependent on the Court's ruling on the matter.
The parties have made appearances in court twice, August 30 and September 6, 2023.
