FKF lays down strict rules for December national elections

The candidates with an interest to vie for the presidential seat will be required to adhere to the electoral obligations for their candidature

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has issued tough rules for anyone seeking to vie for the presidential post during the upcoming elections.

According to the guidelines released by the Electoral Board and obtained by Goal, any member seeking to unseat incumbent President Nick Mwendwa must have been active in football for three of the last four years before being proposed as a candidate.

“Each candidate shall have been registered as a National executive member, Committee member, referee, assistant referee, coach, trainer, or as any other person responsible for technical, medical or administrative matters in FKF, league or club or as a player for three of the last four years,” the Electoral Code document seen by Goal stated.
