Bankroller of Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC, Kurt Okraku has affirmed that his track record in the football circle makes him the best man to lead the Ghana Football Association (GFA) as its new president.

The football governing body in the West African nation is heading for a presidential election later this month to elect its new leader following the departure of Lawyer Kwesi Nyantakyi on the back of the Number 12 video released by Anas.

Having officially announced his desire to contest for the vacant seat on Monday, September 2, 2019, Kurt Okraku has noted that the new GFA needs a leader with competent and efficient hands.

This he believes his track record as a football administrator clearly makes him the preferred man to lead the new regime of the association.

“The time has come to make our football great again and we must not miss this unique opportunity of entrusting the forward march of our football in competent and efficient hands.

“My track record speaks for itself”, Kurt Okraku said in a short video posted on his Twitter page today.

The Football Management MBA holder has managed to mould Dreams FC into one of the best run clubs in the country, noted for producing great football talents.

Ahead of the upcoming election, he faces stiff competition from George Afriyie, Osei Kwaku Palmer, Fred Pappoe and Nana Yaw Amponsah.
