Ghana FA staff go into hiding as bailiff chases association with injunction notice

Published on: 23 October 2019

A bailiff has been spotted at the entrance of the Ghana Football Association waiting to serve an injunction notice on the upcoming elections.

Staff of the Ghana FA have gone into hibernation to avoid being served with the injunction notice which threatens the polls on Thursday and Friday.

Members of the Normalisation Committee have also been left without a trace in what has been a dramatic turn of event in the race to elect new members of the council and a president.

The election to elect new officials for the Ghana Football Association has been dogged with multiple legal action as several attempts are being made to stop the process following the disqualification of one of the leading candidates Wilfred Osei Kwaku.

A third division side Africa XI has dragged the Normalisation Committee to court challenging the disqualification of one of the leading candidate Wilfred Osei Kwaku.

The FA ignored an injunction application and went ahead to organise last week's regional elections.

The move appears to have put the FA in hot waters after lawyer for the lower division side Victor Kwesi Opoku cited the association for contempt.

However, in a dramatic turnaround, lawyer for the FA seemed unaware of the election of regional FA chairmen, forcing the judge to demand for a prove of the polls to be submitted on Thursday for adjudication.

The case has been postponed to 24 October, 2019.

The Normalisation Committee  was slapped with the writ of summons and statement of claim by one Moses Dahama seeking among others a true and proper interpretation of the relevant GFA,  CAF and FIFA Regulations regarding the disqualification of Mr Wilfred Kwaku Osei from contesting the GFA Elections is illegal null and void.

He has also asked the Tema High Court to grant an order of interlocutory injunction against the GFA, its assigns agents and representatives acting on the direction or instructions of the GFA from balloting or carrying out any activities under the roadmap for the 2019 GFA Elections scheduled for 18-25 October 2019 until the full and final determination of the substantive case.

He also want the court to order the reinstatement of Mr Wilfred Osei Kwaku disqualified as a candidate for Election scheduled for 18-25 October.

By this action the GFA NC is stopped from taking any action that will compromise or prejudice the outcome of the application for injunction before the High Court.
