Executive Chairman of Premier League side, Dreams FC, Kurt Okraku has officially declared his intention to contest the upcoming Ghana Football Association (GFA) presidential elections.
After several months of speculations since the resignation of former FA boss, Kwesi Nyantakyi, Mr Okraku’s name has been around as a successor.
He said in a video, which he shared on his social media platforms, that after thorough processes of deliberations, discussions, engagements and consultations with various stakeholders in the industry, he has decided to put himself forward to contest for the leadership of the Ghana Football Association when the election process officially opens.
“My conviction to contest the upcoming election was further enhanced during the period of consultations which made it evident that the qualities I possess were exactly what stakeholders were looking for as we aim to tackle the challenges that face our industry at this particular point in time,” he said.
The renowned football administrator outlined his vision so far as future of Ghana football is concerned.
“My vision is to ensure that all stakeholders of Ghana football benefit from the enormous wealth inherent in a properly managed football ecosystem.
“My ultimate aim is to ensure that industry players in Ghana get their fair share of the enormous global wealth of football; that every person connected to the game reap their rightful dues for their unending efforts and enormous investments. I will in the not too distant future share with stakeholders my elaborate blueprint on my vision for Ghana football.
“The vision of creating wealth for all in football will primarily see us embark on a quest to build a transparent-led and communication friendly FA which carries along all stakeholders to fulfil the aspirations of our beloved nation,” he added.
He is expected to face stiff competition from the likes of George Afriyie, Kwaku Osei (Palmar), Nana Yaw Amponsah and Alhaji Karim Grusah who have publicly declared their interest in the seat.
