"I react to the mood of the people. What I will do is to react exactly to the way the people want.
"I remember [about] four years ago I was asked same question: 'Will Kurt Okraku contest for the elections?' and my answer has always been When the time comes, football will speak.”

This forced the voting exercise into a run-off, which was contested by Okraku, George Afriyie and Nana Yaw Amponsah after Fred Pappoe pulled out.
In all, six candidates contested the last GFA Presidential elections, which took place at the auditorium of the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
They were George Afriyie, Amanda Clinton, Frederick Pappoe, George Ankoma Mensah, Nana Yaw Amponsah and the eventual winner Okraku.
