Parliament Sports Committee member Ekow Assafuah kicks against Kurt Okraku's third-term bid

A Ranking Member of Parliament’s Youth and Sports Committee, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has expressed concerns over the Ghana Football Association (GFA) decision to table a motion before Congress to have its President, Kurt Okraku, contest for a third-term bid.

According to him, this move could violate the GFA’s current legal framework.

Assafuah referenced Article 37(4) of the GFA Statutes (2019), which places a two-term limit on the presidency of the Association.

He noted that any attempt to override this provision would undermine the principles of constitutionalism and the reforms that shaped the GFA’s current governance structure.

“The statutes exist to protect the Association from excessive concentration of power and to preserve institutional integrity,” he stated.

“To disregard this provision, or seek its amendment to favour the ambitions of any individual, would contradict the foundational principles upon which the restructured GFA was built.”

Assafuah further emphasised that the legitimacy of the Association’s leadership is rooted in its adherence to the very statutes that guide its operations.

He argued that continuity, representation at CAF or FIFA, or any other strategic consideration should not override the need to respect the Association’s legal limits.

“The GFA is not a vehicle for personal elevation,” he noted. “It is a national institution with responsibilities to its members, the Ghanaian football community, and global football governance standards.”


He oncluded his remarks by reinforcing the importance of upholding the GFA’s constitutional provisions to ensure transparency, accountability, and long-term stability in football administration.

“The laws that brought Mr. Okraku to power cannot be ignored simply because they now stand in the way of his ambition,” he said. “What Ghanaian football needs now is a leadership transition grounded in merit, fairness, and respect for its own legal frameworks — not one manufactured through manipulation or quiet constitutional change.”

He called on all stakeholders to safeguard the Association’s credibility by ensuring that its governance structures remain transparent, lawful, and consistent with its own constitution.
