Ghana Football Association boss Kwesi Nyantakyi is sure his brokerage of
a peace deal in Kenya puts him in good stead for the upcoming FA
elections.
Nyantakyi was met by journalists at the Kotoka International Airport on
Tuesday after he led a FIFA delegation to mediate between the feuding
factions in that country.
The background is that the Kenya Football Federation (KFF) and Kenya
Premier League (KPL) have been embroiled in a turf for that has
inhibited the growth of football in the country with their regular top
flight suspended.
To exacerbate the problem, both the KFF and KPL were poised to run
different league competitions at the same time over because they
disagreed on expanding the number of teams from 16 to 18.
“I think I have done well and the case speaks for itself,” the FA boss
reflected when Joy Sports asked him what the feat meant to his election
chances.
He also said ahead of the GFA General Elections coming up later this
year, delegates with their ears on the ground would know he would be the
best choice.
“And so, discerning minds will definitely be influenced in deciding who
to vote for when Kwesi Nyantakyi is a candidate in the next FA
elections.”
He went on: “It is true a prophet is not accepted in his own land, but
those who will be honest know what my competence and contribution to
African football has been.”
