Convening of Congress had been threatened by a legal action but a court ruling last Friday cleared that path.

Members have been filing in since Monday afternoon and lodging at the UDS GETFund Hostel in Tamale, venue for the election.

Nyantakyi will be standing unopposed after nobody picked up nomination forms to contest.

This is the second time in a row that the lawyer will have no challenger at the polls after three candidates were disqualified from the race in 2011 for failing to meet election requirements.

So According to the Article 28.7 of the Ghana FA Statutes, Congress will duly return the 47-year-old as president.

Thus, Nyantakyi becomes the first President of the GFA to be democratically re-elected twice.
