The results are:
Senegal – Augustin Senghor – 9 votes
Madagascar – Ahma d – 30 votes
Ghana – Kwesi Nyantakyi – 31 votes
Guinea – Almamy Camara – 37 votes
CAF Congress will also consider and take decision on the proposal by the Football Federation of Djibouti for the modification of article 18.3 of CAF Statutes regarding the candidacy to the Presidency of CAF.
