The President of Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi has been re-elected as a member of the Executive Committee of the Confederation of African Football.

At CAF's on-going General Assembly in Cairo, Nyantakyi was returned through popular acclamation for another four year term of office after standing unopposed for Zone West B.

Nyantakyi became a member of the CAF Executive Committee in 2011 after emerging victorious in a hotly contested election with Benin's Anjorin Moucharafou.

The president of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) Issa Hayatou on Tuesday affirmed Africa's support for outgoing Fifa president Sepp Blatter, who at 79 years, is seeking a fifth term in office.

Blatter, whose leadership has been plagued by scandal, has headed Fifa since 1998, and is now competing against three rivals for the top world football job — Jordanian Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, Dutchman Michel van Praag and former Portugal star Luis Figo.

"His action in favour of Africa speaks for him. To us, he is still the man of the situation," Cameroonian Hayatou said at the start of CAF's two-day general assembly in Cairo attended by Blatter.

Blatter brought the World Cup to Africa for the first time in 2010 and Fifa's financial support has helped keep many African national federations afloat.

It would be a shock if Blatter failed to garner all 54 African votes in the May 29 election in Zurich.

Hayatou, 68, recalled that the executive committee of CAF had in September "initiated a motion of support for the candidature" of Blatter that resulted in "an exhortation made to all 54 member federations of CAF to guarantee their votes to him when the time comes."

"Dear Sepp, Africa is comfortable having you, she stays with you!," Hayatou said, according to an official English translation of his speech made in French.
