Incumbent Wayne Forde was re-elected to the helm of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), defeating challenger and former federation boss Franklin Wilson 14-8 yesterday at the entity’s Extraordinary Congress at the National Training Centre, Providence.
Upon the completion of a voting process that also featured a verification recount, Forde was officially declared the winner. Head of ONE CONCACAF and Caribbean Projects, Howard McIntosh, was present to witness the entire process.
Speaking at a post-election press conference, Forde said, “We also want to go on record thanking the members who expressed through the ballot their faith in us for a final four years. Our motivation was driven primarily by our intention to complete the National Training Centre (NTC) and to embark on a monumental project at the Durban Park facility, which we signed with Blue Water Shipping.”
