Ghana Football Association (GFA) boss
Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku has announced his withdrawal from contesting for the
CAF Executive Committee elections.
Kurt Okraku made the announcement on
Thursday, March 11, 2021 in a meeting of Executives of WAFU Zone B in Rabat,
Morocco. He announced that he was withdrawing from the race to help foster
unity in the zonal body.
A letter to this effect has been sent
to the CAF.
The GFA President informed his
colleagues that in the spirit of unity and togetherness he has withdrawn and
will rather support the current WAFU Zone B President whole heartedly with all
the ideas for the development of football on the continent.
“I wish the remaining candidates the
best of luck and pray that CAF comes out stronger than ever after these
elections,” the Ghana FA President said to a wild applause of the delegates.
“I plan to continue to offer CAF my
very best of developmental ideas. I will continue to support the good works and
look forward to serving at the highest level in future. Thank you for all your
support during this time,” Mr Simeon-Okraku added.
The CAF elections take place at the
CAF General and Elective Assembly at 10am at Sofitel Hotel & Resort in
Rabat, Morocco tomorrow, March 12, 2021.
Djibrilla Hima Hamidou, the WAFU Zone
B and Niger Football Federation President, will therefore be the sole candidate
for the particular election.
