Anxiety rocks current Ghana FA leadership with CAS decision to be delivered

Published on: 15 July 2020

There is uneasy calm within the leadership of the Ghana Football Association with the Court of Arbitration for Sport set to deliver a landmark ruling on Wilfred Osei Kwaku's disqualification on Friday, widespread media reports have claimed. 

As expected, the uncertainty surrounding the decision of the global tribunal, has put the Executive Council on tenterhooks, it has been claimed in the local media.

Anticipation is reaching a climax over a verdict that could mark a turning point in the administration of the Ghana FA.

The verdict has a far reaching implication for both parties with CAS set to announce the ruling on Friday July 17.

There are two things likely to happen - CAS to throw out the case and allow the status quo to remain or order for a re-run of the election if it was deemed the plaintiff was unfairly disqualified from the race.

These are frenetic times for the followers of both disqualified aspirant Wilfred Osei Kweku and current FA boss Kurt Okraku.

Palmer dragged the FA to the apex of world sports court after he was disqualified from contesting the 2019 Presidential race by the defunct normalisation committee.

CAS will announce the decision whether to uphold Palmer's quest to annul the election and order for fresh polls to decide on a new President for the GFA or allow the status quo to remain.

The situation has put the presidency of Kurt Okraku on the line with wide-reaching implications if Palmer becomes successful.

The ruling from CAS will put to rest months of intense anxiety involving all the principal actors.
