FKF Elections: I am still in charge despite SDT ruling – Mwendwa

The federation boss says he will continue to discharge his duties despite another setback ruling which cancelled elections

The Football Kenya Federation president Nick Mwendwa has stated he is still in charge of football in the country despite the decision by Sports Dispute Tribunal to nullify second elections in a row.

On Tuesday, the SDT ruled the FKF has no mandate to run the national elections and asked the world football governing body, Fifa, to appoint a Normalization Committee to ensure elections are held according to the law.

During his ruling, SDT chairman John Ohaga also made it clear the term of the current National Executive Council (NEC) members has already elapsed and they cannot be involved in the electoral process and should vacate office.
