BREAKING: Hussein Mohammed clinches FKF Presidential seat in overwhelming second round victory
Otieno conceded defeat as the second round of the presidential election was going on, rendering the result a formality, and it now means Hussein Mohammed will be the new FKF President.
Goals from Sylvester Owino, Austin Odhiambo, and Christopher Ochieng secured the vital points for K'Ogalo at the Dandora Stadium, despite a relentless challenge from the Talanta side.
With their recent woes seemingly behind them, Gor Mahia will be eager to continue their winning run and keep their title defense on track.
Currently sitting in 9th place with 17 points from nine matches, they have recorded five wins, two draws, and two losses. A win against Bidco United would push them further up the standings and bolster their chances of defending their FKFPL title.
However, Bidco United will be aiming to spoil Gor Mahia's momentum. The Oilers find themselves struggling in 16th place in the relegation zone, with just 11 points from 10 matches.
With only two wins to their name, Bidco will need a massive effort to improve their league standing. Their most recent outing saw them hold league leaders KCB to a goalless draw at the SportPesa Arena on November 30, a result that gives them some hope going up against the 21-time champions.
Shaban vs FC Talanta
Meanwhile, at Gusii Stadium, Shabana will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways as they face FC Talanta.
After a disappointing run of results, including a loss to Kakamega Homeboyz and a 1-1 draw with Posta Rangers, the Glamour Boys sit in 12th place with 13 points from 11 matches.
They will be aiming for all three points to get their season back on track against a Talanta side that has similarly struggled for consistency.

Despite a spirited fight in their 3-2 loss to Gor Mahia in midweek, Talanta will need to improve their form to avoid slipping further down the table.
Bandari vs KCB
In another top fixture, league leaders KCB will be aiming to shake off a recent dip in form when they face Bandari at the Ukunda Showground.
The Bankers have been held to back-to-back draws, including a 0-0 stalemate with Bidco United an unusual slump i form for the side.
With 22 points, KCB remain at the top of the table, but they will need to secure a win against Bandari to maintain their lead over the chasing pack.
Bandari, on the other hand, are enjoying a remarkable run of form, having won their last two matches.
