Six people are vying for the presidency of the Kenyan Football Federation in a long-awaited election scheduled to take place later today in the capital, Nairobi.
The football body has been tainted by allegations of corruption, and mismanagement.
Sam Nyamweya, who is being investigated alongside two other officials for “conspiracy to defraud”, is hoping to win a second term as president. He has denied the fraud allegations.
The polls had been postponed on three occasions, and there were fears that today’s exercise would follow the same course.
Analysts say the crisis rocking the football body is affecting the performance of the national team, the Harambee Stars.
