Re-elected Ghana Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi has promised to lead the campaign to get the proposed limits on terms of office for football federation heads.
Some renowned football administrators, including resigned FIFA boss Sepp Blatter, had suggested term limits for all Fifa executives. The Swiss had mooted for this to encompass member associations and wanted the duration to be a maximum of three terms of four years.
Nyantakyi, who begins a third term of office after going unopposed in Tuesday's elections, has sworn to lead that crusade.
“Regarding specific reforms like term limits, I have no objection to that. The FIFA Congress in Sao Paolo and Zurich considered it and it was rejected,” he noted.
“This time round most people have seen the need to re-introduce that and I will lead the crusade or campaign for such reforms to be introduced at FIFA, CAF and even at our national association level so when the time comes we will all abide by that.”
Nyantakyi made history in 2011 when he became the first incumbent GFA boss to be democratically re-elected for a second term in office.
His first election was in 2005 after earlier serving in an acting capacity as chairman for a year.
