The Vetting Committee cited that Afriyie’s application was unsuccessful due to his breach of “Article 13(2)(j) of the Ghana Football Association statutes, 2019,” as well as his “failure to provide the required number of Ghana Football Association members to support your candidature.”The statement went on to provide detailed explanations for Afriyie’s disqualification, noting that he has a three-day window to appeal this decision.Afriyie had previously contested the 2019 presidential election but lost to the incumbent, Kurt Okraku. In this year’s election, Okraku’s application has passed the vetting process, while Afriyie’s did not.
George Afriyie has secured an interrogative injunction over the conduct of the election whilst the court adjourned the case to the 28 for the determination of the said case before it.
According to reports gathered by ghanaeye.org, George Afriyie has warned the GFA not to go ahead on the election to prevent further punishment from the court.
