Ghana Football Association elections management body has received multiple petitions seeking to disqualify candidates for the presidential seat, GHANAsoccernet.com Headquarters has been told.
Several persons have written to the election body alleging fraud and lack of integrity and credibility against the leading candidates in the presidential race.
There have been petitions to get Dreams FC Executive chairman Kurt Okraku, Tema Youth owner Wilfred Osei Kwaku and Liberty Professionals director George Afriyie yanked from the race, GHANAsoccernet.com understands.
Phar Rangers president Nana Yaw Amponsah and former Ghana FA vice-president Fred Pappoe must laced their boots to answer the charges as the vetting process starts Friday September 27, 2019.
With the exception of the only female candidate Amanda Clinton and George Ankamah, the five leading candidates could face the music when they appear before the Vetting Committee.
The petition borders on fraud, criminality, lack of integrity and credibility.
Dreams FC Executive chairman Kurt Okraku is facing allegation of widespread player registration fraud amid a five-year banned imposed on the club's Director of Football Ibrahim Dossey.
While the former FA Cup committee chairman has insisted the much-touted issue of Daniel Gozar / Cudjoe Mensah is a complete bollocks, there have been a petition to get him disqualified from the race.
There have been claims of non-payment of a 10% player entitlement fee to the Ghana Football Association against Tema Youth boss Wilfred Osei Kwaku while Nana Yaw Amponsah must fend of allegations of flouting a FIFA intermediary rule.
Former FA vice capo Fred Pappoe is also facing allegation of an unaccounted € 300,000 from a Black Stars friendly against Nigeria 12-years ago.
Liberty Professionals director and Okyema Planners owner George Afriyie has a Dzamefe Commission of Inquiry report hanging on his neck, despite insisting he has no case to answer.
The election committee will scrutinise the petition as the seven aspirants begin their vetting today.
With an impeccable integrity required to steer the affairs of the football association, all the aspirants will go through a rigorous integrity test before the five-member panel.
Kurt Okraku will be the first to face the five-man team and will be followed by Amanda Clinton, George Ankamah Mensah, and Nana Yaw Amponsah.
On Saturday, trio Fred Pappoe, Wilfred Osei Kweku and George Afriyie will face the committee.
The Vetting Committee is chaired by Frank Davies Esq. and the other members are Mrs Marian Barnor and lawyer Mr Emmanuel Darkwah.
Also on the committee are Reginald Laryea, a Marketing and Business Executive and Richard Akpokavie, a general secretary of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) and legal practitioner.
