GFA race: Palmer loses appeal
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) Normalisation Committee has thrown out an appeal by renowned football administrator Wilfred Kwaku Osei concerning his disqualification from the GFA presidential race.
The Tema Youth FC president submitted a protest in hopes of overturning a Vetting Committee recommendation for his elimination. The disqualification was based on two separate accounts.
A letter seen by Goal and signed by Normalisation Committee member Naa Odofoley Nortey for and on behalf of the Elections Committee and delivered to Osei reads:
