Andre Ayew has my support if he decides to contest for GFA presidency – Kwame Sefa Kayi

Renowned broadcaster Kwame Sefa Kayi has voiced his backing for former Ghana captain Andre Ayew to vie for the presidency of the Ghana Football Association (GFA). Sefa Kayi, speaking on Peace FM, contends that Ghanaian football requires a shift in leadership and asserts that Ayew could be a suitable contender for the role as tensions grow regarding the administration led by current president Kurt Okraku.

The veteran journalist expressed his intention to support Ayew if he opts to run for GFA presidency. "If he has not declared, then I am declaring for him. If Dede [Ayew] decides to contest, I will support him, and I wish everybody would do the same so that there will be changes," Sefa Kayi stated. He specified that his support is not influenced by any bias, but rather driven by his vested interest.

Although Ayew has reportedly received calls from within the football community urging him to consider a presidential bid, he has not yet made a public declaration. Other contenders vying for the GFA presidency ahead of the upcoming election in October 2027 include football administrator Samuel Annim Addo, former Brong Ahafo Regional Football Association chairman Ralph Gyambrah, and Karela United CEO Elloeny Amande.

Notably, former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan is also rumored to be considering a run for the position. The forthcoming contest is anticipated to attract considerable attention as stakeholders discuss the trajectory of Ghanaian football and the leadership necessary to tackle its current predicaments.
