Ghana Football Association Kwesi Nyantakyi has refused to categorically confirm that he will not seek re-election when his current term expires in 2019.
The astute legal practitioner has been in office since 2005 when he won an election- the first ever in the country.
He is in the second year of a third term and there have been suggestions that he might not go for a fourth term when his tenure runs out in two years time.
When asked if he will step down in 2019, replied: ''I hope so, I hope so, I have done my best and I definitely will not be at the FA forever because it’s not a chieftaincy position where I will occupy until I’m dead.''
Nyantakyi is regarded as the most successful Ghana Football Association boss since its establishment in 1957.
Under his presidency, Ghana qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the first for the country. Ghana again qualified for the subsequent 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The Ghana U-20 football team also won Africa's first and only U-20 World Cup also during his stewardship in 2009.
