Bankroller of Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC Kurk Okraku has declared his intention to contest for the Ghana Football Association presidency.

Okraku becomes the fifth person to join the race after George Afriyie, Osei Kwaku Palmer, Fred Pappe and Nana Yaw Amponsah.

The election is reportedly scheduled for this month (September) after the Extra-Ordinary Congress on Thursday. 

"After a thorough process of deliberations, discussions, engagements, and consultations with various stakeholders of our industry, I have decided to put myself forward to contest the leadership of the Ghana Football Association when the election process officially opens," Kurt Okraku said. 

He added "My conviction to contest the upcoming election has been further enforced during the period of consultations with stakeholders. It became very evident during this period that the qualities I possess are exactly what stakeholders are looking for as we look to tackle the challenges that face our industry at this particular point in time.”

Kurt served as an Executive Committee member and was also the Chairman of the local Black Stars under erstwhile administration led by Kwesi Nyantakyi.
