No term limit for WAFU Presidency

Published on: 12 January 2016

The Congress of the West Africa Football Union Zone B has resolved that there will be no term limit for presidents of the zone.

At a Congress held at the Movenpick Hotel in Ghana, the General Secretary of the Zone B of the West Africa Football Union, Aka Malan said they have agreed to go by what the umbrella body CAF adopted, hence no term limit for their presidents.

It will be recalled that the recent Congress of the Confederation of Africa Football held in Cairo Egypt came with resolutions that the body will not have term limits for their presidents and the WAFU Zone B is adopting the same thing.

Speaking at the event, Aka Malan said "We have resolved that following the no-term limit for CAF Presidents, we shall also go by that. That means that anyone who wins the seat can contest and be the president for so many years provided he wins."

He also noted that the Union initially voted every two years to elect a new President but they have resolved to make it four years.

"We have also accepted to change the two-year office term to four years to offer leaders the opportunity develop the zone," he added.

Ghana's FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi was re-elected today as the President of the WAFU Zone B and he will be in office until 2020 before another election is conducted.
