Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council member Frederick Acheampong has triumphed in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary for the Ahafo Ano South East constituency. Acheampong’s resounding victory, securing 164 votes, positions him as a formidable contender for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
Defeating four other aspirants, Acheampong’s win propels him into the political spotlight, as he now gears up for a potential parliamentary seat. However, this achievement is not without challenges, as the football figure must navigate the delicate balance between his roles in the GFA and CAF and the demands of a vigorous parliamentary campaign.
Undeterred by the obstacles ahead, Acheampong expresses gratitude to NPP members in the Ahafo Ano South East constituency, vowing to tirelessly serve and secure victory in the upcoming elections. While his success elicits excitement within the football community, concerns linger about how he will manage the dual responsibilities of football administration and parliamentary duties. Acheampong remains focused on contributing to his country’s development through this new chapter in his career.
