The Ghana Football Association (GFA) will still have to wait a bit more to proceed with this year's Elective Congress following the adjourning of the injunction motion by King Faisal.
An Accra High Court was scheduled to hear the case on Wednesday, August 30, but that did not go as planned.
The legal representatives for the parties involved thereafter agreed on a new date for the court to address the motion filed by the Division One League side.
Last Monday, King Faisal and its lawyer filed the motion in the Accra High Court. They contend that the GFA's statutes prohibit a legal Congress from convening to elect the GFA President until the new members or representatives of the Executive Committee have been duly elected.
As a result, they are asking the court to prevent the GFA from holding the presidential election on September 27 until the necessary elections for delegates from the National League Clubs, Regional Football Associations, and other constituent bodies are completed.
The GFA also announced it had decided to put its 2023 GFA Election Timetable on hold due to the injunction by King Faisal.
The Kumasi-based club is seeking a ruling that opening nominations for the election of a new GFA President before elections for Exco representatives is both erroneous and illegal.
They also want an assertion that any decision purportedly passed by the current Executive Council membership concerning the election of a new GFA President before representatives are chosen for the Exco is a breach of trust, confidence, and loyalty.
In an interview with Joy Sports, a Board Member of Accra Hearts of Oak, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamkloe, called on King Faisal to take the case from court.
"[King Faisal taking the case to court] is very unfortunate. That is going to affect the individual clubs. Because if you have boys now, you have to feed them and pay them," he said.
"If King Faisal will go that way I would be very much surprised. If you are relegated, such a case cannot qualify you to the Premier League at all. Unless he wants to destroy the whole football process.
"I will try and call him. He should try to take this out of court."
