Upset as Ghana Executive Council elects FA vice president

Nzema Kotoko president Mark Addo has been voted as the vice president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The head of the second-tier club beat off competition from two others during the first meeting of Ghana's new football Executive Council to assume the top office on Tuesday.

He garnered six of the 11 votes cast, emerging top over public favourite Randy Abbey and Tony Aubynn, who had four and one votes, respectively.

Abbey's popularity stems mostly from his status as a former spokesperson of the FA.

It is a double dose of delight for Addo, who was elected onto the GFA Executive Council less than two weeks ago.
