Fifa rules Mwendwa, FKF Executive Committee to remain in office despite SDT ruling

Wednesday's development means the world football governing body has rejected the proposal of forming a normalisation committee to oversee elections

Besieged Football Kenya Federation (FKF) can breathe a sigh of relief after Fifa ruled on Wednesday they will remain in office, pending the conclusion of the protracted election process.

In a letter seen by Goal, Fifa has stated the current FKF Executive Committee members, including president Nick Mwendwa, will remain in office before the election situation is addressed by a meeting of all stakeholders, including Fifa themselves.

The Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) had, on March 17, cancelled the FKF elections and called for the creation of a normalisation committee which Fifa has now rejected.
