Newly elected CAF Executive Committee member and President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kwesi Nyantakyi has received a major boost in his bid for re-election as the GFA boss.Asante Kotoko's Board Chairman Dr K. K Sarpong has announced that he will be leading the campaign team for Nyantakyi's re-election.The 57-year-old international financial consultant and accountant made the revelation in an exclusive interview ahead of the biggest game on the domestic football calendar between Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko this weekend."If for nothing at all, we must support him (Nyantakyi) to better what he has achieved so far. The consistency needed for meaningful development of Ghana football is what has been lacking and that is why we must rally behind him to do even better before a new era emerges."Notwithstanding his successes, Nyantakyi would still have to contend with the likes of Vincent Sowah Odotei, Neil Armstrong Mortagbe and according to reliable sources a surprise contender Mkenzie Golightly of whom very little is known on the wider football terrain.It would be recalled that during the final stages of the fiercely contested CAF elections in Khartoum, Sudan, Nyantakyi had what many believed to be the most dynamic and robust team including Liberty Professionals boss Alhaji Sly Tetteh, veteran football administrator George Amoako and the President of the Gambian Football Association Seedy Kinteh who was the Campaign Manager for Nyantakyi's Caf bid.On the African stage, Nyantakyi is considered among a new breed of football administrators who are primed to take the continent's undoubted potential to a new level. The big challenge for the King makers now is how to forge powerful alliances with personalities such as Danny Jordan of South Africa, Jacques Anuoma of Ivory Coast and the President of Cecafa Leodegar Tenga just to name a few.A further boost for the Ghanaian is widely speculated talk that he may be called upon to lead the African campaign team of close friend and Fifa Presidential potential Mohamed Bin Hamam of Qatar.Source: Yaw Ampofo-Ankrah
