FOOTBALL FKF Elections: Doris Petra warns of FIFA ban if Nick Mwendwa fails to contest for third term
FKF Vice President Doris Petra has challenged election eligibility ruling amidst legal and FIFA guidelines.
The Electoral Board members have already been passed by the federation’s National Executive Committee (NEC) and will swing into action if they are ratified at the AGM set to take place on March 16 in Nairobi.
FKF rolled in motion the electoral process following a NEC meeting on January 6 in Nairobi, resolving that the elections, set to take place later this year, will be conducted using the FKF Electoral Code (2020) which was used in the last FKF elections.
The Electoral Code and Elections Board were the subject of a major tussle in the lead up to the 2020 polls when the Sports Disputes Tribunal ordered for a fresh process after nullifying the sub branch and branch elections which had preceded the national polls.

FOOTBALL CS Ababu Namwamba reads riot act to sports federations
Namwamba has threatened to ensure international bans are heaped upon sporting federations that will not follow the law in conducting their affairs.
FKF went back to the delegates with a new code and a new board which was passed at a Special General Meeting and they seem keen to avoid another similar scenario.
The federation had come under fire from various candidates for delaying the process but contestants now have a clear roadmap towards the hotly-contested polls.
Extreme Sports CEO Hussein Mohammed, former Harambee Stars players McDonald Mariga and Dennis Oliech, Gor Mahia legend Sammy Owino ‘Kempes’, Murang’a Seal CEO Robert Macharia and Gor Mahia secretary General Sam Ocholla are some of those who have expressed an interest in the top seat.
