The Executive Committee of the Ghana Football Association has resolved they are sticking to their prior decision to nominate the association's president Kwasi Nyantakyi for next years Caf executive committee elections.

The decision of all 22 members of the committee was unanimous in a meeting held Thursday evening.

Ministry earlier in the week wrote to the FA requesting that Nyantakyi be replaced with Abedi Pele for the Caf slot - a complete contrast of what ensued some months ago when the ministry gave its blessing to Nyantakyi.

In a statement signed by the GFA scribe Kofi Nsiah indicates their decision to snub the Ministry's directive.

“We write to inform you that the Executive Commitee of this FA is unable to act or take any further action on your request.”

Making its case on the independence of football association from governmental interference, the GFA quoted Article 18 of the Caf statutes to buttress its point.

“The decision of the GFA is in pursuant of Caf statutes that states that names of candidates for membership of Caf and Fifa executive committees shall be submitted by the relevant national associations,” the statement added.
