Kwesi Nyantakyi re-elected for third term as Ghana Football Association president
Ghana Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi was re-elected for a third term of office until 2019 by the GFA Congress on Tuesday in Tamale.
According to the Article 28.7 of the Ghana FA Statutes, Congress will duly return the 47-year-old lawyer unopposed.
This was the second successive time Nyantakyi, owner of Ghana Premier League side Wa All Stars, was entering a Ghana Football Association as the only candidate.
In 2011, three candidates were disqualified from the race after failing to meet the electoral requirements.
Kwesi Nyantakyi is the first President of the GFA to be democratically re-elected twice as President of the Association.

Ghanaians are stupid. This country never cease to amaze me with its backwardness. Nobody seems to take this guy down for what reason I have no idea. Look at the idiots we keep putting in authority and you know why we have not progressed as a country Our leaders are very stupid and dumb despite their claim to be educated. No wonder why Mugabe was saying the Ghana he knew when he taught at Takoradi in the 70's has not changed. And I believe him.This country will never be like Ivory Coast or Nigeria. At least they have the foresight to build infrastructures for a real capital city I was at cape coast a month ago and the place which could be a cultural and center of tourism in Ghana, looks like a dump site. Trash everywhere you go and nobody seem to care. Why are the regional commissioners still being appointed by the central government? instead of being elected by the people of the region?, so he could be accountable to the people of the region. Why are we still practicing a system that brings development to a region only from Accra? Why can't a region be responsible for most of its affairs by electing its own leaders and going out to find its own investors to develop? It doesn't have to be a federal system but anything that allows a region to develop itself instead of depending on the central government which is totally incompetent. There are so many investors around the world itching to make money somewhere if the economic conditions are right. Even roads can be privatised. This is what governments do in the western world to relieve themselves of undue burden of being everywhere thinly. Its about time Ghana elects pragmatic people with gumptions to adjust our constitution to allow some partial autonomy to our regions so they could go and seek their own investments to develop instead of depending on twerps running them from Accra.
