Addo suffered defeat in his bid to get re-elected onto the Ghana Football Association's Executive Council. He polled 13 out of the 48 votes cast by the Division One League clubs.

Anim Addo who is the manager of Asamoah Gyan was seeking to be re-elected as three representatives for the Division One League (DOL) on the GFA ExCo.

In a statement on social media, Anim Addo said, “The Lord Has Spoken Thank you, Jesus, am still grateful. Yes, this was another victory for me in your eyes. Thank you, Jesus Christ.”

GFA vice President was Mark Addo successfully re-elected alongside Gideon Fosu and Eugen Nobel Nii Amon Noel.

The newly-elected three representatives of the Division One League will join five other Executive Committee members from the Ghana Premier League and Women's Premier League to form the new GFA ExCo.
