An Accra High Court (General Jurisdiction) today struck out the Application for Injunction filed by King Faisal FC against the Ghana Football Association in relation to the GFA Elections Roadmap.

Counsel for King Faisal FC withdrew their application.

The judge therefore struck out the Injunction Application as withdrawn.

There was no order as to cost.

Background

King Faisal and its lawyer filed the motion in the Accra High Court. They contended 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 were 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.

However, the GFA has gone ahead to conduct its elections with Kurt Okraku winning to lead the association for a second term.
