Football administrators in the country have expressed joy at the election of GFA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi as an Executive Committee member on Wednesday.
Nyantakyi secured a landslide victory over Benin FA president Anjorin Moucharaf with 34 votes from the total vote cast of 53.
Former Ghana FA chairman Nyaho Tamakloe says Nyantakyi's nomination to the Caf seat did not surprise.
"I worked with him at the Ghana FA and he was very co-operative and I knew he was going to win. After leading Ghana to the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany and the exploits of the Black Stars at the 2010 World Cup, I knew no FA president will reject him," Nyaho Tamakloe told Accra-based Hot FM.
"This means the seeds sowed by Ohene Djan, HP Nyametei and the rest are beginning to germinate."
Ghana FA spokesperson Randy Abbey added: "He is a team player and very affable. For me I get to learn a lot from and his hard work has paid off. I knew he was going to win but I must admit that I'm humbled by the result.
"The more than 20 African Football Association heads to come to country can't be underestimated at all and this is a man whose leadership qualities has now received continental recognition."
King Faisal Football Club owner Alhaji Karim Gruzah also told Hot FM:" We have to thank God for this victory because he never forgot about Allah's help. Before leaving, he asked both Muslims and Christians to pray for him and his prayer has been answered."
"He (Nyantakyi) must now work to pay back Allah."
