It is mandatory for all officials of national federations to serve a maximum of two four-year terms, and most of the incumbent officials have already completed their tenure, thereby making way for new leadership.
The last extension of their terms was granted on January 28th, when the KVF General Assembly decided to extend the current officials' mandate by 90 days. However, this additional period is coming to an end, paving the way for fresh faces to take charge of the federation.
Among the candidates vying for the presidency is Charles Nyaberi, the current First Vice President of the KVF, who is seeking to occupy the office left vacant by the late President Waithaka Kioni.
