FKF to postpone elections by one year

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) will postpone their national elections by atleast one year, we can reveal.

The federation has received permission from Football’s world governing body FIFA to postpone the elections earlier scheduled for next year to 2025.

This is to cover up for the lost period when the federation was disbanded by former Cabinet Secretary for Sports Amina Mohammed who put in place a caretaker and a transitional committee that ran football for one year.

According to a source in the federation, the issue featured prominently during a recent tour in the country by FIFA and CAF officials.

“The matter was discussed and FIFA/CAF agreed to the federation’s request to postpone the elections to 2025,” said the source.

The current officials were elected in October 2020 and ideally are supposed to serve until 2024 when fresh elections are to be held.

The federation is scheduled to discuss the matter during its Annual General Meeting (AGM) this year to convince their delegates to pass it.

It however remains to be seen if the sports registrar who is the custodian of the sports act will give her permission for the extension of the current term limit.
