Re-elected Kwesi Nyantakyi rues lack of competition

Re-elected Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi says he would have loved to test his popularity after standing unopposed in Friday�s presidential vote. Nyantakyi was elected by popular acclamation at the GFA Extraordinary Congress at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram. Two aspirants Vincent Sowah Odotei and Neil Armstrong-Mortagbe were disqualified for reports of anomalies on their nomination forms. Also, Golightly McKenzie and Forsythe Alhassan withdrew at the initial stages. Nyantakyi said: �Competition usually brings out the best in you. This (unopposed) does not give you a correct gauge of your popularity.� �No bridges were broken. We just applied the laws. The law states that when you want to contest, you need to be proposed and seconded by 10 other clubs. �If you do this, this does not amount to breaching bridges,� he added. �We are not a political party and it is not a �winner takes all� affair. For me, everyone must come out to support the GFA into a brand that we all want.� Nyantakyi has been Ghana FA president since December 2005.
