Kwesi Nyantakyi, head of

the majority of African delegates will support Bahrain's Sheikh
Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa to become FIFA's new president in tomorrow's
elections.
BBC
Africa Live report continues:
Executives
at the Confederation of African Football (CAF) have asked their
members to back him, but the ballot is secret.
The
54 members of the CAF will meet in Zurich at lunchtime to confirm their
preferred candidate but the Ghanaian was confident an "overwhelming
majority will toe the line".
Mr Nyantakyi also told
the BBC he wished that Africa had a strong candidate.
South African Tokyo Sexwale
"doesn't appear that he is the right person for Africa to support at this
moment," he said.
