In the first round, Asamoah secured four votes to fortify his position while Zida and Duncan got three votes each to go into a re-run between the two.
After the re-run, both candidates again secured four votes, with two rejected ballots which called for a third round to be held. In the third, both candidates secured 4 votes each again with two rejected ballots.
Per the GFA statutes, the election of the second representative of the RFA's was postponed to Friday, October 25 where the GFA Presidential election will be held.
