FKF presidential candidate Hussein Mohammed has called for transparency during the football governing body’s general elections slated for December 7.
With 40 days to what is being touted as the most awaited FKF General elections, all the nine presidential aspirants have confirmed and kicked off their campaigns.
“Conduct elections fairly, as that is the only way to move football forward,” Mohammed said.
The selected leaders will assume office for a four-year term.
Over the weekend, Sam Nyamweya, who previously served as the FKF president before handing over the baton to Nick Mwendwa- bowed out of the race.
Nyamweya said that the decision had been made after ‘deep reflection and consultation’.
“I hereby formally and voluntarily withdraw my candidature for the presidency of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) elections scheduled for 7th December 2024,” he said.
The FKF Electoral Board has released a clear roadmap that will guide the polls and also the electoral code that will guide those who have expressed interest in vying for different positions.
The national elections will be preceded by the County polls that will be held on November 9.
The final list of county and national candidates will then be known on November 2, paving the way for the county elections on November 9.
Publication of the 94 national delegates, who will be eligible to vote in the national elections, will be done on November 23, two weeks before the vote for the presidential candidates on December 7.
Delegates sent to represent an FKF member during elections must belong to the member they represent either by appointment or election.
The board has also published the contents of the electoral code that will be followed by the candidates eyeing various positions.
Those eyeing the FKF top seat are required to have at least five endorsements from any of the FKF members, must have played an active role in football either as a player, member, or an official of FKF in two of the last five years, and must satisfy the requirements for leadership and integrity as per Chapter Six of the Kenyan Constitution.
