In response to the decision, Mr. George Afriyie requested for an unedited video of the vetting process of which his request was declined in accordance with the rules and regulations of FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).<\/p>\n

A statement signed by the Aspirant said he had further on filed an appeal against the committee\u2019s decision to disqualify him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe statement of intent of appeal was filed on Friday, September 8, 2023, via email which included a notice of filing a supplementary case,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge all my followers and supporters to remain calm as we go through the process to reverse the arbitrary decision of the Elections Committee,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
