Wilfred Osei 'Palmer' Kwaku files FIFA petition over election disqualification

Published on: 08 October 2019

Ghana FA presidential hopeful Wilfred Osei Kwaku has directly filed a petition with FIFA over the decision of the Normalisation Committee to disqualify from the election race.

The Tema Youth bankroller has reported the issue to the world governing with the claim that he has been unfairly targeted and thrown out of the race for no justifiable reason.

Even though Palmer has filed an appeal with the NC over the decision, he has also told told the Swiss-based body to intervene in the matter and 'ensure that justice is served'.

The astute administrator has sent his petition to FIFA on Tuesday for redress suspecting that there is foul play in the NC's decision to exclude him from the race.

The election committee of the Ghana Football Association disqualified the candidate on two grounds - breach of  Article 33(5) (c) as well as getting on the wrong side of GFA ethical committee ruling in 2017.

The legal team of the presidential aspirant has lodged an appeal with FIFA seeking to overturn the decision after filing a similar appeal with the local association.

"We have successfully filed an appeal against the Elections committee's decision to disqualify Osei Palmer from the GFA presidential election race," Osei announced on social media on Monday.

"We once again urge our supporters to remain calm as we await the decision of the Appeals Committee."

The election to elect a new leader for the Ghana Football Association will be held on October 25.
