The Ghana FA will be looking to get the court injunction restraining the association from organizing its Presidential elections struck out over claims the plaintiff lacks the requisite capacity.

The GFA have been prevented from holding its congress on August 18 to elect a new President by the court action brought against it by one Lawyer Quaison who claims to be a football administrator.

Quaison himself was looking to contest the elections but is paring the court to force the GFA to reverse its electioneering process – i.e holding elections of the lower levels before that of the Presidency.

His plea is however nowhere to be found in the statutes of the Ghana Football Association.

A member of the GFA’s legal committee Prosper Harrison Addo has confirmed the association will be looking to get the case struck out because the first plaintiff lacks capacity.

“The GFA lawyer, Thaddaeus Sory will move a motion to have the case struck out of court because the first plaintiff lacks the requisite capacity,” he said.

“The GFA is made up of clubs and constituent bodies but the first plaintiff went to court on the basis of being a football administrator and a lawyer which is alien to us at the GFA.”

The GFA has set the process to elect a new President for the association in motion before the filing and serving of a court injunction.

Incumbent Kwesi Nyantakyi was the only candidate to have filled his nomination at its deadline before the court injunction kicked in.
