According to the Article 28.7 of the Ghana FA Statutes, Congress will duly return the 47-year-old lawyer unopposed.

This was the second successive time Nyantakyi, owner of Ghana Premier League side Wa All Stars, was entering a Ghana Football Association as the only candidate.

In 2011, three candidates were disqualified from the race after failing to meet the electoral requirements.

Kwesi Nyantakyi is the first President of the GFA to be democratically re-elected twice as President of the Association.
