President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku has withdrawn his candidacy from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Executive Committee elections.
It is indicated that Mr. Simeon-Okraku withdrawal was announced in the WAFU Zone B Executive Committee meeting held on the side-lines of the CAF General Assembly in Rabat, Morocco. The GFA president said he was withdrawing from the race of the Executive Committee elections, to help foster unity in the zonal body.
