GFA election will go for second round if Wilfred Osei Kwaku is reinstated, says Randy Abbey

Former GFA spokesperson Randy Abbey claims that the 2019 Ghana Football Association presidential election will go to runoff if Wilfred Osei Kwaku (Palmer) is cleared to contest.

Palmer was disqualified by the election committee of the GFA on two grounds - breach of Article 33(5) (c) as well as getting on the wrong side of GFA ethical committee ruling in 2017.

According to Randy Abbey, the election will definitely go for second round if the bankroller of Tema Youth is reinstated.

"If Wilfred Osei Kwaku is contesting, I am definite that the elections will go for second round but if he is not, it could be a one-round," he told Happy FM.

"There were no details on Palmer’s disqualification. The NC only quoted two articles."

"This decision has implications beyond the elections because my understanding of the implications of Palmer’s disqualification means he can’t even contest for any position in football again."
