Ghana football to be strengthened after CAS decision over Palmer disqualification

Published on: 15 July 2020

Ghana football could be strengthened regardless of the verdict from the hugely-case from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Friday. 

Tema Youth president Wilfred Osei Kweku "Palmer" dragged the Ghana FA to the global tribunal following his disqualification from the presidential race back in October 2019.

There are several conspiracy theories including a "calculated" attempt to disqualify him unfairly- leading to his decision to seek redress at the world sport court in Switzerland.

The final verdict from CAS could strengthened the administration of football and fix the bottlenecks.

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.

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.

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