Asante Kotoko Executive Chairman Dr Kwame Kyei has pulled out of the race to contest for the upcoming Ghana FA Presidency seat.
The businessman mogul earlier this month announced his intention to contest for the vacant seat to serve the country’s football governing body.
However, upon second thought, he has rescinded his decision to join the race.
Confirming the news, his Special assistant, Nana Kwasi Gyembibi Coker said: “The president of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Prof. Kwame Kyei has decided not to contest in the FA presidential race again.”
“According to him, he claims the reason not to continue to star in the race is personal. He also believes for now, Kotoko should get his entire focus so he would be able to build a team capable of annexing more envious trophies.
“He would want to thank all who believed in him.”
Dr Kyei was appointed the leader of Asante Kotoko by the club’s life patron in 2017.
The Normalization Committee on Monday opened nominations for the 2019 Ghana FA elections.
The vetting of qualified candidates will take place from September 26 to October 1 with the election slated for October 27, 2019.
