Mark Addo, the Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has successfully secured his position as a member of the Executive Council, topping the polls during the GFA Congress held in Tamale.
Seeking re-election, Mark Addo received an impressive 32 votes from the delegates, demonstrating the strong support he enjoys within the football community. He was followed by Gideon Fosu, who garnered 29 votes, narrowly edging out Eugene Nobel Amon Noel, who received 28 votes.
In a surprising twist, Samuel Anim Addo, once considered a frontrunner in the election, received only 13 votes, placing him at the bottom of the rankings. He was followed closely by Alexander Ababio, who secured 15 votes.
As a result, the three representatives from the Division One League chosen to serve on the Executive Council of the GFA will be Mark Addo, Gideon Fosu, and Eugene Nobel Amon Noel.
These three individuals will join the five members who secured the Premier League slots for the executive council: Dr. Randy Abbey, Frederick Acheampong, Nana Oduro Sarfo, James Kwesi Appiah, and Kingsley Osei Bonsu. Additionally, Gifty Oware Mensah received strong support and an overwhelming endorsement to become the women’s football representative on the council.
Earlier in the Congress proceedings, Kurt Okraku was re-elected for a second term, running unopposed after his competitor, George Afriyie, was disqualified from the race.
