Veteran football administrator Kofi Manu âBlue Boy' has raised concerns about the extension of the Ghana Football Association presidential term limit extension, arguing Kurt Okraku is entitled to only two terms. The domestic football governing (GFA) officially extended the presidential term limit from two to three terms, following a decisive vote at the 31st Ordinary Congress held in Pampram on Tuesday.
Out of 123 delegates who participated in the vote, 114 supported the amendment, while six opposed it, with three abstaining.
This move alters the 2019 GFA statutes, which previously capped the presidency at two four-year terms.
According to Kofi Manu, Kurt Okraku should not be a beneficiary of the three term limit, having assumed the presidency role based on the existing status. "You don't make a law to take a retrospective effect and for that reason, since Kurt Okraku took office based on the existing status that had two terms, he cannot benefit from any extension" he said.
