The newly constituted Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Electoral Board has settled for December 7th as the date for the eagerly awaited FKF national elections.

In a statement dubbed “FKF elections 2024 Timelines”, exclusively obtained by Flashscore, the new President for the federation will be known on December 7th, while County elections will be conducted on November 9 and 10, 2024 respectively.

The new dates come just a day after FKF officially unveiled a five-member Electoral Board tasked to oversee the upcoming exercise.

The board is led by Hesbon Owilla as Chairman, with Merceline Sande serving as Secretary, James Waindi president of the Sports Journalists Association of Kenya (SJAK), Dan Mule (former AFC Leopards chairman) and Alfred Ng’ang’a.

FKF elections were earlier scheduled to be held in October 2024, but a court case filed in a Mombasa High Court stopped the start of the process after FKF’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) that was due on March 16th, was called off.

Verification of candidates to contest for various seats will be held on November 15th and 18th while publication of the names will be done on November 19. The hearing of any disputes arising from the process have been set for between November 24 to 26.

So far, the top seat which is held by Nick Mwendwa has attracted former President Sam Nyamweya, Extreme Sports CEO Mohammed Hussein, Gor Mahia secretary Sammy Ocholla, former international Sammy ‘Kempes’ Owino, former Gor Mahia CEO Omondi Aduda, and former FKF NEC member for Nyanza Tom Alila.
