Official: Big surprise as Ghana FA Normalisation Committee announces candidates for presidential election

Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) executive committee member Wilfred Kwaku Osei has been eliminated from the race for the nation's FA presidential seat.

The bankroller of former Premier League side and now second-tier outfit Tema Youth - unarguably among the lead candidates - is the only victim of a vetting process. Reasons for his failure have not been stated.

The development from the GFA Normalisation Committee on Friday comes only two days after he unveiled his policy document for his presidential ambition.

Osei's exclusion leaves six more persons in the running for the top job which has been vacant since a bribery and match-fixing scandal caused the overhaul of the Kwesi Nyantakyi-led administration in June 2018.
