President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, says it is too early to decide whether he will contest in the next presidential elections.
His comments came after delegates at the 31st Ordinary Congress of the GFA approved a proposal to extend the presidential term from two years to three. The proposal, put forward by the Statute Review Committee, received overwhelming support, with 114 out of 124 delegates voting in favour.
Speaking to the media after the decision, Mr Okraku—currently halfway through his second term—stressed that discussions about a potential third term are premature.
“The question about me seeking re-election is premature. We have at the minute two and a half years to serve the Ghanaian game. When the time comes, I will make a decision just like many other people who are eligible to contest. This should not be the topic for us, but rather how to harness the new momentum around our domestic game,” he said.
Mr Okraku explained that the term extension was necessary to correct an abnormality in the GFA’s statutes, ensuring they align with those of both CAF and FIFA.
He added that his current focus remains on improving the local game, pointing to significant investments made across all levels of football—from colts to women’s and men’s competitions.
