AFC Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda hopes his experience in football administration will come in handy after declaring his candidature for the Nairobi NEC member seat in FFK elections.
AFC Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda is counting on his experience in the game to elevate him to victory during the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) elections where he is running for a NEC seat.
Shikanda has thrown himself in the ring for the Nairobi National Executive Committee (NEC) member’s seat and will have to square it out with six other opponents, including incumbent Michael Majua, in what will be one of the hotly-contested seats.
“As someone who has been involved in Kenyan football for many years, I have seen both our strengths and our struggles. I understand what is required to bring about a new dawn in our industry,” Shikanda said in a statement.
