A former chairman of the Western Regional Football Association, Kojo Yankah, has declared his intention to contest in the upcoming Ghana Football Association (GFA) presidential election.
He is set to come up against incumbent Kurt Okraku who will be seeking reelection when his mandate expires in October 2023.
“I'm officially declaring my intention to contest the GFA presidential election. It's true, I, Kojo Yankah will contest for the GFA job in October,” the former journalist told Onua TV.
Kojo Yankah served as president of the Western Region FA for eight years and was also a GFA Executive Council member during the tenure of Kwesi Nyantakyi.
In another interview, Yankah said he is seeking to leave a mark on Ghana football when he becomes president.
“I am very ready and it is time for me to also leave a mark on Ghana Football. It is time for a new administration to take over affairs at the Ghana FA and I am the right person,” he told Happy FM.
“The love for Ghana football is not there anymore and I am the one to bring it back.”
There’s no official roadmap yet for this year’s election expected to be held in October.
