Ghana Football Association vice-president Fred Pappoe has dismissed claims that there were flaws in Friday�s presidential election.
Incumbent Nyantakyi was elected by popular acclamation at the session that lasted a little over half-an-hour.
Many expected a secret ballot like the Federation of International Football Associations elections where incumbent Joseph Sepp Blatter was the sole candidate.
Pappoe explained that the acclamation is a form of voting and the declaration by the official of the Electoral Commission remains intact since there was no objection from any quarters.
�We discussed it severally at the Executive Committee. Once our Statutes say that no election, why do you want to go the extraordinary line and circumvent the law.�
He added that the fact that the Statutes states that the candidate is returned means there is no casting of ballot.
