As the GFA Elections comes to an end, Ghanaweb takes readers back to when aspiring Ghana Football Association President, George Afriyie said he trusts delegates because they will elect him to serve the federation.

The Okyeman Planners Bankroller was one of the leading candidates for the top job but however, he was betrayed by the same delegates he trusted.

A few days to the elections, there were fears over an upset as the popular saying goes "Fears delegates."

But a very confident George Afriyie insisted he trusts the delegates to make the very best decision of voting him into power.

"I don't fear delegates, I trust them," he told Sikka FM. "I'm part of the old stock. I know what we went through, and where we want to go," he added.

The former Vice President of the Ghana Football Association encouraged delegates to vote for him as he plans on restoring the country's lost glories in the sport.

"Vote for George Afriyie, the number two on the ballot for the redemption and revival of our football," he said.

"It is important to display some level of transparency to get public confidence back".

Afriyie stepped down as aspirant ahead of the 3rd round of the elections held on Friday.
