AFC Leopards have compiled a six-member team to oversee their June 2019 elections.

George Serede, Lawrence Weche, Bevon Aberi, Chris Amino, Swaleh Juma and Victor Bwilo will make up the Election Management Group (EMG), and Bwilo will act as the team’s ex officio member.

According to Goal Kenya, a letter seen and signed by the club’s Secretary General Oscar Igaida states that.

We call upon the Elections Management Group (EMG) to ensure the elections are free, fair, transparent and held in a conducive environment. The outcome should reflect the outcome of the members.

In this regard, we urge the board to invite observers from recognized sports bodies including the ministry of sports, and the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK), the letter continued.

Finally, we urge the club membership to offer support to the board to ensure free, fair and credible election come June 2019.
