Former Ghana Football Association boss Nyaho Tamakloe is backing Kwesi Nyantakyi to win the upcoming presidential elections by describing his challengers as ''no match.''

Nyantakyi, recently voted as a Caf Executive Committee member, is likely to face opposition from King Faisal CEO Vincent Sowah-Odotei and Neil Amstrong Mortagbe, a Fifa Marketing Consultant.

His opposers could increase if the Electoral Commissions opens nominations for aspiring candidates.

But Tamakloe, a former Hearts of Oak Chief Executive, believes Nyantakyi's achievements since taking charge of the sport put him head and shoulders above any challenger.

''If you take a critical look at the record of Nyantakyi over the past four or five years, you will admit that he’s the right man for the job and would win easily even though I’m not a delegate," The tough-talking Tamakloe said.

"He qualified the team to two successive World Cups and I’m convinced the electorate will love continuity and vote for him massively. In political circles one can forecast and I’m saying he’ll win comfortably."

The Ghana FA is yet to fix a date for the much-awaited congress to elect officers for the next four years.
