Kakamega Homeboyz boss Cleophas Shimanyula eyes FKF throne in fierce presidential race
Cleophas Shimanyula, the chairman of Kakamega Homeboyz, has declared his intention to run for the presidency of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and unveiled Twaha Mbarak as running mate.
Mwenwa's announcement comes on the back of Cabinet Secretary for Sport Kipchumba Murkomen's stand that no aspirant who has already served their second term will be allowed to run for the same office.
The CS had appeared before the National Assembly on September 25 where he confirmed that the officials were, however, allowed to run for other offices.
"A letter has been sent to FKF from the Sports Registrar and it is clear that under the Sports Act, no one will run for office for more than two terms," he told the National Assembly
“I believe that if FKF officials who have served for two terms want to run for office, they should run for maybe a different office other than the one they are currently holding.”
The FKF presidential race has attracted interest from Former Kenyan Premier League CEO Jack Oguda, Extreme Sports CEO Hussein Mohammed, ex-Gor Mahia star Sammy ‘Kempes’ Owino, Gor Mahia secretary general Sam Ochola and most recently Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula among others.
