Every MP who spoke against GFA President 3 terms must resign

Former Asante Kotoko coach, Isaac Adade Boateng popularly known as Coach Opeele has called on Ghanaian MPs who opposed the extension of term limits for the president of the Ghana Football Association to resign after serving two terms in Parliament.

According to coach Opeele, MPs do not have any moral right to criticize the GFA for extending the term limit of the President from two to three because they themselves don’t have a fixed term limit.

The 31st Ordinary Congress of the GFA on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, by a majority decision approved the proposal to extend the term limit of the president from two to three.

Reacting to this, coach Opeele took to his X page to announce the decision of Congress while urging MPs who are against the approval to resign from their positions after serving two terms in Parliament.

“GFA congress extends presidential mandate to 3 terms. 114 members voted yes representing 91 percent.”

“Every MP in Ghana who spoke against GFA 3 terms must resign after their second term in Parliament. Political hypocrisy. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” the post read.

Out of the 124 members of Congress which includes GFA president Kurt Okraku, 114 members voted in favor of the motion to extend the term limit of the leader of the association from two to three.

6 people voted against the motion to extend the term limits of the GFA president stressing on the fact that two terms of 4 years each is enough for one to implement his ideas to develop the game while 3 members abstained from the vote.
